24 Hour Adventure: What you need to know

Fifty bucks, 24 hours, two girls, and a million possibilities. The 24 Hour adventurists are Hilary McHone and Lillian Vince. Between the two of them they’ve covered 38 states, 27 countries, and six continents. 24 hour adventure means that Hil and Lil leave home for 24 hours see how far they can go and how much they can do in exactly one day. There are no rules and no limits, just two adventurists and their cameras.

Lillian is a 22-year-old native of Denver, Colorado, where she grew up climbing mountains, riding horses, and going to theatre camp. She got her BA in Theatre from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she was also introduced to the Iowa State Fair and its beef sundae. Lillian has toured most of the major tourists traps in Europe, and lost a lot of money at most of them. Her favorite adventures have been off the beaten path. She has hiked exactly one twentyfirst, more or less, or the Appalachian trail, flown a kite in Tiananmen Square, been frightened by a rhino in Senegal, and galloped horses on the beach in Gambia (she also got a facial there). Lillian is living in New York on kind of a fluke, and speaks fluent French. She thinks that since you’re reading this, you are super cool.

Hilary is a 33-year-old Vermont native and grew up enjoying the great outdoors – hiking, canoeing, biking, and fishing were some of the usual activities. She high schooled in New Hampshire, but claims to know nothing about the place. A week after graduating from high school (gulp) 16 years ago, she packed up and moved to New York City at the age of 17. She has a BA in English Literature from NYU and an MBA in Marketing and Management from Fordham University. You don’t hafta work in corporate America to use that schooling every day! Hilary has bicycled across Europe, white water rafted in New Zealand, celebrated St.Patrick’s Day in Hong Kong, and galloped horses on the beach in Costa Rica. She follows her heart and encourages others to do the same. What are you waiting for?
