Michael has been traveling California’s state parks from a very young age – and his knowledge of all the local spots certainly shows through when you meet him. If it’s in California, he’ll know where to pitch a tent, setup a campfire and find a great hike.

I went to Big Sur with Michael recently and had an absolute blast. We spent two days hiking all over the beaches and hills while having a fantastic time. Michael knew all the cool spots to hit and certainly didn't disappoint. He came thoroughly prepared and had everything ready to go in terms of camping equipment. To top it off, he made sure our campsite was close to a few Dutch girls traveling through the area! Awesome night, even greater weekend!
