California

No matter where you are from, it is hard to ignore the diversity California has to offer. If you can imagine an outdoor sport, chances are you can experience it, or all of them in the same day. From the lush forest and tall cliffs of Yosemite that make for a climber’s paradise to the long beaches of SoCal that serve as a surfer’s haven; California has it all. If that is not enough, all these amazing natural destinations also serve as home to multiple world-class, culturally diverse cities that offer everything under the sun.
