Ecotourism is becoming very popular worldwide. Getting deep in nature and pushing yourself to new limits will help you rediscover what you thought you lost. In California, it is very diverse with mountains, deserts, caves, and a network of rivers. It would take years to truly explore them all. Whether it is driving off road in a National Forest, going scuba diving in the Ocean, or camping by caves to overcome fears, it will be an experience to remember. As a single father and Scuba Diving Instructor, I received many compliments from students, old friends, and family on looking years younger than I actually was. Though I did get certified as a personal trainer at one point in life, I couldn't see myself being indoors to exercise all the time. I felt that staying active and happy was the best way to cope with life's obstacles and remain in decent shape. There is an endless variety of outdoor activity by our home that has left me limping into work on Monday many times grunting with pain. The sunburn didn't make it feel any better either. I like it and it keeps me feeling alive.My intention in this guide is to get people outdoors, feel the rush from the outdoor sports, and to remember what it is like to feel young again. For the younger generation, there are plenty of challenges here for you too. Have fun and be safe. Cheers,
