One day, I hope to be able to travel a lot. While I do hope to be able to travel to different countries around the world, I will probably do most of my traveling within the bounds of the United States, partially because of money reasons, but also because there really is a lot to see across the US. In the mountain western US, there are a ton of things to do, in all different seasons. My favorite time to visit the mountains is the summertime, because it is warm but only comfortably so. I would love to do more mountain climbing/hiking, but it would be nice to go on a train ride, learn to ride horses in the hills (while wearing horse riding helmets, of course), or learn a new sport. Mostly, though, I just like looking at the scenery and experiencing the local cultures.
