Travel
Hi! I’m Chris Monteferrante, and I’m exploring America in my 2020 Subaru Outback, The Scarlet Tanager. I’m camping, hiking, skiing, surfing, and visiting as much of the world as possible, and this is where I’m telling my story.
I hope my story encourages others to get outdoors, be spontaneous, and live the way they want to live. I’ll share my adventures, the secret locations I discover, and the tips for minimalist living that I acquire along the way.
Here are some of my stories.
