Oh hey there!
The name is Caitlin Jade, I'm 21 years young, and
the baby of my family.
Being outside and exploring wherever I can is
definitely my favorite thing to do. I've got a serious case of wanderlust and I
wouldn't have it any other way. Right now I'm living in Logan and going to
school at Utah State, and if I could be a student there forever I would. I love
it there.
I grew up in a family that went on one vacation a
year, and that was camping. Most of my earliest, favorite, memories are of sleeping
in a tent and roasting s'mores.
I'm also a runner. That's another thing I love doing
outside. My favorite one that I've done so far has got to be the Ogden half-marathon,
since so much of the course was in the canyon and it was so scenic to run
through. I have a goal to do one half-marathon a year, and starting next year I
want to travel to each different race to continue adventuring to different
places.
My latest adventures have included going to Arches
National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Goblin Valley. It was my first
time being to all of those places this past Spring Break and let me tell ya, it
was incredible.
Here are some pictures of some of the neat places
I've seen lately.
How Exploring Pangea Has Changed My Perspective; and a Glance into My Life
Let's rewind time to about a year ago, I went
through the hardest time in my life. I found myself signing divorce papers to
end my one year marriage.
21 years old and divorced? That's one place I never
thought my life would take me. That's something life has taught me the hard
way. You don't get to choose some things you go through, and it's completely
your choice how you let it change you.
I didn't feel like myself. For a little bit there I
stopped being with people that made me happy, and doing things that made me
happy. It was so weird, it felt like my life had completely stopped, but
everyone else kept going with theirs.
The weather started warming up, and my brother and I
went on a hike one day. It was then that I realized that being outside and
exploring was something that was actually really therapeutic to me.
I've been able to satisfy a little of my wanderlust
from exploring places around me and going on adventures. I am stoked to have
this opportunity to be an Ambassador for Pangea Explorers Club because being
outside and active really changed my life for the better when I was going
through a really dark time.
Guys, life can get really rough sometimes. And like
I said above, you choose how it changes you. Don't just take my word for it,
when you're stressed or feeling down, get outside and get in touch with nature
and this incredible world we live on.
Let's all get outside, and go see something we
haven't seen yet.
Explore on, explorers.
