Come on in! The water’s fine. Click to follow along with me on all of my adventures or use the menu bar to navigate to specific types of adventures.
This Adventure blog is for women who love outdoor adventure, unique travel adventure, kayaking adventure, foodie adventure, theme park adventure in Florida and beyond.
If I inspire anyone at all to pursue a dream, to step out of their norm, and to really take time to appreciate the beauty of the world we live in then it will all be worth it. Being the “Outdoorsy” type doesn’t mean you wear cammo or that you’re any less feminine. And being feminine and liking designer purses doesn’t mean that you can’t connect with nature, even if you make a fool of yourself in the process. If this girl can get in touch with her outdoorsy side then so can you!
Life is about creating moments and I look forward to sharing my moments and adventure travel blog with all of you. Check out “Where I’ve been” and learn more in “About Me”.
“It’s only the great outdoors….what are you afraid of?”
