USA Travel

As a kid growing up in the US, I traveled extensively with my family, visiting the Eastern half of the US by high school days. Mostly camping, hiking and exploring US National & State Parks, I gained a great love of nature. In 1991 I moved to Japan then began traveling the world solo. Since then I return to the US for visits on occassion. These posts are mostly my impressions and explorations of US in recent years. See the US from 'outside eyes' - http://www.lashworldtour.com/category/usa/
