Went on Teens Westward Bound
During this 23 day road trip across the country and back we traveled to most of America's major landmarks. With 75 other teens from NC we cooked our own meals, set up campsites and blogged for our parents back home. We were not allowed any technology on this trip and slept outside every night. This trip taught me the beauty of nature and the importance of taking care of it. -
