Update: Check out my Pinterest Board: “Exploring America With My Dog” for updates!

If there’s something I love more than writing, it’s exploring the world with my best friend.

My goal is to eventually have an adventure with her in every state in America. So, as you’ll see below some of the states are listed, but they’re missing an adventure. Okay, so must of them are missing an adventure.

But…we’ve got a few trips planned around the Pacific Northwest over the next few months and then another road trip from Oregon to Florida and back. So, by the end of the year we should be able to fill out quite a few more states.
