Traveling became an important part of my life when I started traveling around the country to compete in athletic events. The more I traveled, the more I wanted to travel. In 2022, I left the country for the first time and ended up visiting 4 new countries within 6 months.
Growing up in a small town, I always wanted to see more of the world. Once I had to opportunity to see more, I didn’t want to stop. Traveling can truly open your eyes and change you as a person.
When I travel, I love exploring local shops and restaurants as well as seeking out scenic trails, camping sites, and cozy cafes. You can catch me seeking out the best breakfast spots and most beautiful views wherever I travel!
Whether you’re on a tight budget, wanting to travel in luxury, or looking to explore mountain tops, I’m here to inspire you to do just that!
