Several years ago, inspired by my profound interest in hiking, I created a hiking bucket list. Ever since, this living breathing list has been updated based on new information, new trails and tips from locals. I consider these hikes the most interesting in the world. I’ve barely cracked the surface of my list and that’s exciting! When I enjoy something I am an absolute geek. Consequently, my budding passion for travel compelled me to collect hotel brochures in high school (how geeky is that?!). Today I have a true passion for travel, partly fueled by my desire to hike the most beautiful places in the world. Even within the United States, understanding the distinct cultures around the country as well as the world is perhaps the most valuable experiences in my life. Feel free to subscribe to my blog (located on my blog site) as I introduce all of my wonderful hikes (and travels) across the world. Safe and wonderful travels, Joe Stallings III
