Project purpose
Idaho has so much to offer, and there is so much beauty in Eastern Idaho. I have a passion for finding adventure, and I wanted to give others the opportunity to make long lasting memories with their friends.
For my project, I decided to create a blog page and an E-Book on “Idaho Adventures.” A lot of people believe there is nothing to do in Idaho, and I am here to change their mind. My project idea came along when I was thinking about my Freshman year at BYU-Idaho. A lot of people told me there was nothing to do, so I decided to create my own fun. This project is based on ideas and things that you can do to have fun. I believe there is so much to do in Idaho, and I want to give people the opportunity to have fun with their friends.
I have made so many connections and lasting friendships in Idaho. These people are people that I call my best friends and they are some of the best people I know. I am a big fan of the outdoors and exploring new places. I have a passion for writing and creating a blog post and an E-book were the perfect way to share ideas. This was such a good opportunity to spread awareness, and connect with people. I wanted to create posts people can read for new ideas. I think an Ebook was a great idea because I can inspire people and have all of my blog posts in one place.

Challenges
My biggest challenge was finding time during the semester to travel to these locations and take pictures. There are so many great locations and I took the time to look for the best places. It was so rewarding to make time for my project and spend hours outdoors. I am so grateful that I can spread awareness on the beauty of Idaho and what activities Idaho has to offer.
Project processes
In the beginning of the semester, I came up with a list of blog posts I wanted to write. I strived to go on two adventures each week. When I traveled to these locations, I brought friends and made new long lasting connections. I brought a camera to take pictures, and made long lasting memories. I also jotted down ideas for my blog posts and made an E-book.
An overview
I have gained so much from this project. I got the opportunity to improve my writing skills and work on something I am passionate about. I got to meet people, create memories, and improve my photo skills. I also got the opportunity to create my own blog, edit photos, and create an E-Book. I have gained skills that I can take with me into my future career.
Insights or takeaways
This project taught me how to set goals, create deadlines, and work consistently on a project. I gained such great communication skills, and got to interact with friends and peers. I also got the opportunity to focus on my writing and make a blog. I am so grateful for the blogs I have made and the opportunity to spread awareness to others.
