Exploring the American West

I found myself in the West of America during the Summer of 2025. My first trip was to visit family and friends in New Mexico and Montana, and then, as luck would have it, my parents let me borrow their new (old) Sprinter, and I set off to explore my home state of Colorado (for the first time), then on to Wyoming, and then Idaho. It was a journey that would remind me how lucky I am to be from where I am from.
