Kayaking the Withlacoochee River in Madison, Florida
For my first time ever kayaking, I went down the Withlacoochee River in Madison, Florida. I can’t believe it took me this long to go kayaking, and I hope I get more opportunities to go in the near future. My family chose to go down the Withlacoochee River in Madison, Florida, which I think ended up being a great river for beginners. In all, it took around 4 hours to complete the journey, but that can vary depending on how long you stop at each spring. Starting Point We first got in the river at a public boat ramp.

The Perfect Happy Hiking Playlist
Most anything becomes a lot more enjoyable when you have the perfect playlist to listen to in the background. That’s why I have created playlists for almost every mood I could possibly be in.

A hiking playlist is especially useful if you are someone who hikes alone. Hopefully, this playlist consists of the perfect mix of songs you already know and love, as well as songs that you will come to know and love. You…

Catawba Falls, North Carolina: A Super Easy & Fun Hike
North Carolina offers some of the best hikes in the country, and I had the pleasure to take on one of them this past weekend. Catawba Falls is the perfect hike if you’re near Asheville and are looking for a quick adventure out in nature.
