About Me

I did not grow up traveling or exploring the outdoors. My family was very comfortable staying in our town and hanging out at local parks and beaches. I had so much fun growing up but my world changed when one of my good friends moved to California.

He moved to Yosemite National Park to be exact. which is on the oppositie side of the country. I thought I was never going to see him again because 1. I didn't have money to go visit him all the way from Florida and 2. I was not about to travel by myself.

My friend sent me some photos of the beautiful land he was living on and convinced me I would have a great time if I came to visit. I ended up asking my now husband to come on this adventure with me and THAT is what started to this thirst for new places and adventure.
