Who Am I

Hello there Adventurers! I’m Dakota (Chief of Exploration) & I am 38 years old. I have been born, raised, and live in West Michigan. I have always had a passion to leave Michigan & explore what the world has to offer. Over the past years I have visited places from as far as the Panama Canal, Niagara Falls (Canada) & to the Hawaiian islands. These visits have allow me to experience different cultures & environments. I have a huge passion to explore what is out there in the world. I have had the privilege to visit the western US multiple times & that alone has created a special kind of love that can’t be attained in the midwest! Seeing outside of my community & getting to experience how the world actually flows day to day, over time these experiences are what have shaped me into who I am today.

I am someone who is always looking for an adventure. I always love to explore something that is new to me. Whether its taking different roads to a place I may have already been to or traversing a dirt trail to see where it may lead to. I have been fortunate enough to have huge passion in hiking, camping, and photography. Hiking & camping have been activities I have pursued for years. The photography passion has been in me for a long time but only have I only starting shooting photos recently. I hope that someday I will be able to convert one of my hobbies (photography, exploring, hiking, camping) into a career and pass my passions onto others.
