One of the main reasons that my husband, Tyler, and I travel is for hiking, camping, kayaking, and going skiing/snowboarding in the winter. Tyler is also into whitewater kayaking so we go rafting a good bit.
We love these outdoor adventures and that’s honestly what drives most of our travels. So here are some tips that I’ve learned along the way as well as some of my favorite destinations for outdoor activities.
