Planning your vacation the Big Island of Hawaii? Well here's all my favorite things to do on the island! As always be sure to practice Leave No Trace principles everywhere you go so the island can be preserved and enjoyed by the locals and tourists to come.

France is one of the top countries in Europe (and the world!) for hiking.

I've hiked in different parts of France and c'est magnifique!
