Coming from a multi-racial country, i love the variety of races and cultures that exist in the States living harmoniously, this fascinating fact makes me feel that i am safe to travel to a similar community that I am currently in. We are living in the most peaceful time ever in human history, and my gut tells me this trip will change my entire perspective on 'the meaning of life'. I am hoping by end of this trip, i have improved/sharpened my English conversational skills and be more confident expressing myself and of course, made memories to treasure forever and to have gazed upon the beautiful flora and fauna hidden.
This will be the most valuable personal and educational trip for me, I am preparing myself to immerse into American nature, culture, food and people. My trip will be focused around the Navajo Nation Reservation and a few glorious national parks and islands that i have listed on my bucket list to visit. Backpacking and camping on land, moving forward either by rail or road.
1. Yosemite, California
2. Shasta-Trinity National Forest
3. Pyramid Lake & Lake Tahoe – Tahoe National Forest & Sierra National Forest
4. Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier national parks
5. Uncompahgre National Forest/ Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee Grassland
6. Grand Canyon
7. Channel Islands, California
8. Point Reyes national seashore - the view :O
My backpacking trip will of course sharpen my survival skills and my test my personal strength as an individual. I would love to bring with me my experience and talent - I am a student of psychology and counselling, focused on children and adolescents; I speak 6 languages and have always loved travelling to new places and making new connections that last for a lifetime.
If you feel that i am missing any magical places to visit, please do drop me an email with the suggested location, if you would love pictures of my trip, simply ask, I am very happy to share them out with you, i am happy to share my perspective of my long awaited adventure into nature and culture in America. Thank you so much in advance for this opportunity.
