After graduating from college we moved from Lexington, KY to Seattle, WA. Rather than take menial part-time jobs for the summer, we decided to end our apartment lease and use our savings for a trip of a lifetime. Andras and I departed on a 10 week summer road trip across the United States and Canada with only a tent and a car to protect us from the elements. We camped and hiked in 19 national parks and monuments, 16 U.S states and 1 Canadian province.
