Wanderlust is engrained in so many of us. It’s a natural thing to be curious and want to explore. So many of us wouldn’t be here today if our ancestors didn’t explore. Life is constantly happening all around, why not go out and be a part of it? My favorite poet, Walt Whitman, wrote a beautiful poem about how dire travel is for the soul.

I’m sure you have a bucket list full of places to go and things to see when you do. I know I do. I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to the magical places I’ll someday go, not just in the United States, but the entire world.

Fall is my favorite time of year because there are so many different ones to be seen throughout the landscape. So many yellows and reds, and hunter greens and the leaves change color.

While yes, that too can be an interesting sight, it gets old when you spend 20+ years next to it. Off the coast of Maine is Acadia National Park. Not only do you get the rugged and beautiful terrain of the mountains, you also get the relaxing sounds of a shoreline. It’s the best of both worlds! Speaking of colors, you will never understand how there could be so many of them swimming across this park. I plan to go in the early Fall, of course, and you should too. Right before it gets cold would be the perfect time to see the leaves change and to the feel the brisk breeze of summer’s end.
Everglades
This National Park is the largest subtropical area that houses such diverse creatures and blends with the Caribbean tropics to make for an even greater diverse habitat. It is nearly 1.5 million acres in size and is known as a National Treasure. There are so many adventures to be had and sites to see in this area. It’s home to many endangered species and a perfect place to go Geocaching. (http://www.nps.gov/ever/index.htm
