Adventures  - Travel- Camping -   Hiking

​Life has so much to offer.  Everywhere I look, there is something beautiful to see or do and someone way cool to share in that memory.  I have visited every state in this gorgeous, majestic country and have witnessed mother nature’s splendor on my quest to visit all the national parks.  I have visited 21 countries and plan on visiting many more.  I share these memories with you while providing travel, camping, and hiking tips.

Food is the centerpiece of sharing life with friends, meeting new ones and learning about other cultures.  It facilitates the creation of wicked cool memories and full bellies!  I like to talk story with people while sharing delicious and unique cuisines.  Here I share some experiences with friends, share some delicious recipes, and provide some helpful cooking and food prepping tips.

Helpful Life Hints

I've learned a lot over the years.  Somethings I learned by making mistakes and rebounding from them.  Somethings I learned out of sheer luck.  Somethings I learned by doing some research.  In any case, not matter how I did, I learned.  I share these life tips here.

Pete's Bucket List

I never stop dreaming and thinking about things to do and places to go.  My future is filled with a list of objectives I want to achieve, experiences I want to have and memories I want to create.  The list is long, and as quickly as I accomplish a bucket-lister item, I add another. I will never stop living. I will never stop moving. I will di-alive!

Random  Thoughts

Like all of us, I have opinions about life and its happenings.  When I hear someone offer insight about a topic, I break down the components of that message and usually agree with part of it and disagree with some of it.  But what is really cool is that these opinions always cause me to stop and think, and many times do some of my own research on a subject.  I share some of these thoughts with you.

Pete's Principles

​

I live by a certain creed.  I live with a set of values.  While I am by no means perfect, I strive to be the best possible person I can be.  These ten principles came about by my reflection on my past and the manner in which I live.  These are the guiding tenets that allowed me to create and maintain a happy and balanced life.

​Nuthin fills the soul with that ahhhh feeling faster than a cool pic that is filled with memories or dreams.  Pictures excite us, fill our hearts with warmth or simply put us in a happy place that soothes our spirit.  These are some of my favorite photos!  I share them with my hope that they will help you dream and feel life!
