Journeys with John!
Hello! Welcome to Journeys with John. I am a traveler and adventurer sharing my travel experiences with you. My posts highlight history, diving, public lands, and other amazing locations you should check out. I also share tips for places I have visited or am planning to visit. Mostly, I balance my travels between hostels, camping, and cheaper guest houses, while at the same time being open to more luxurious trips and hotel stays if the opportunity arises. My ultimate goal is to escape as much of the Colorado winter as possible traveling internationally and then traveling the US during spring/summer/fall and sharing my recommendations with you!
