My name is Mark. I love traveling and exploring. Nothing gets me excited like a new adventure. I have been fortunate enough to travel to 27 States and 5 Countries. I have traveled through Canada, hiked all over Iceland (before it was popular and cool), and backpacked in Switzerland. And, I am a huge foodie. ..BIG TIME! I love all types of foods, especially donuts! I enjoy seeking out new and interesting places to eat locally and wherever I travel. I am generally the food guy of the group. That is my one true job. Find the most dynamite place to eat.  So far, I have only really failed once and that was in Missoula, Montana. I deserve a pass on that one.

I can’t count how many times I have been asked about a city, hike, or restaurant and I say, “Haven’t been there. I hear it’s nice.” Or…”I think I have been there, but can’t remember.”  And, one of my friends or my girlfriend will chime in, “Yeah, we did that.”  I guess it’s a good problem that I have been to so many cool places. I just have a hard time keeping up! That leads to me to the blog.  I have been thinking about a blog for years now. I figured what better way to look back at my memories than to start a blog, all while describing my trips, adding some food insights, and showing the pictures I take along the way. You may see any other awesome explorations whether it be a craft brewery on the weekend or trip to a new baseball stadium.  

My other main purpose for this blog is to help others find new places to eat, travel, and explore.  There are places I never anticipated to travel but wanted to learn more. I hope this blog helps increase reader’s curiosity of exploration.  I spend hours and hours and days researching trips, food, and hikes.  I want to be able to enhance that research for others, offering my experiences and thoughts. I hope this will spark interest in others to enjoy new unexpected experiences with their eyes and bellies. If you don’t mind my interesting way of conversing and not the best grammar, please follow along and enjoy.
