The 50 States

I made it! All 50 U.S. States by the age of 25!

I didn’t realize this was my goal until I was well on my way to hitting it. Before I moved to college I had 15 states, but quickly started gaining college road trip after road trip. The thing I’m most proud of is that I’ve had an experience in each and every state – from hiking a mountain, eating at a classic location, catching a sunrise/sunset, to even sleeping in 40 of them – every state has a memory!

Most Favorite States

Alaska and Utah – Alaska because duhhhh, and Utah has beauty in every desolate turn through canyons, mountains, salt flats, and the In-N-Out drive thru located close to everything I could ever want to do!

Least Favorite States

Kansas and Ohio – Kansas only has nice people, and Ohio should be contained so their misery cannot infect the rest of the country.

Most Underrated State

Arkansas – Breathtaking views from north to south and a perfect balance of southern charm with redneck festivities.

State that Deserves Another Look

South Carolina – Everyone from Charleston will never forget to remind you they’re from Charleston so I guess I need to experience it for myself.

Most Overrated State

Texas – That’s right, I said it! Just because it’s from Texas doesn’t make it great; you can burn down your Whataburger (except the spicy ketchup) and your Buc-ees while wearing jeans on a 100 degree day and no one would notice. But they do have Walker, Texas Ranger so I’m torn...
