What if you stopped waiting for the “perfect time” to travel and just went? In this episode of Merging Into Life, host Kim Rodrigues speaks with Mikah Meyer, who started visiting U.S. National Parks one day, and then didn’t stop until he had visited all 419. From growing up in a flat state with no outdoors experience to setting world records, Mikah’s story is proof that adventure doesn’t require credentials, just intention.

They talk about what the outdoors can teach us about time, purpose, and grief; how to overcome the pressure to always be working; and why our own backyard might be the best place to start exploring.
