America the Beautiful.
Yes, my country offers a tremendous amount of beauty and experience for the traveler. And to celebrate the recent completion of my travel quest to visit all 50 US States in 50 Years in achieving my 50th state, Hawaii, before my 50th birthday, I decided to focus the calendar on America.
So for my 11th year of the Stay Adventurous Travel Calendar welcome to America the Beautiful.
For 2024, let’s visit sea to shining sea and beyond. I put a heavy focus on many of the last states of travelers also on a quest for 50 by 50 which include Maine, Arkansas, North Dakota, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii. Some of these were also some of my last too.
I also decided to highlight sunsets again, you’ll notice a few inside the calendar such as the ones from West Virginia, California and of course our cover – Fenwick Island, Delaware taken on my time visiting Ocean City Maryland. But it is not just landscapes, but my image curation held a diversification effort in mind… one of the many beauties of America. So I even placed in some fun memories such as a beer inside Yankee Stadium or a sunset tasting image from the Florida Keys Food Tour in Islamorada.
