Tory is a Pittsburgh-based adventurer who loves exploring her home state of Pennsylvania. She believes that you don't have to travel far to find amazing places to explore. Tory got into travel and exploring as a kid, thanks to her family's focus on experiences rather than material possessions. As an adult, she has moved around a lot, which has made her appreciate the beauty of her home base and the local adventures it offers. Tory shares her tips for finding budget-friendly and PTO-friendly spots for adventuring close to home. In this episode, you will learn:


• You don't have to travel far to find amazing places to explore.

• Moving around frequently can help you appreciate your home base and the local adventures it offers.

• Use your weekends and limited vacation time to explore nearby destinations.

• Borrow or rent gear before buying to find what works best for you.
