About Me

Hi! I’m Lauren and I’m an adventure travel content creator who is passionate about inspiring Black women to step out of their comfort zones for new experiences in travel and adventure, to use nature as healing and therapy, and to embrace outdoor recreation.

I’m a millennial and empty nest mom with a propensity for adventures, travel, nature, new and unique experiences, theme parks, and food.

I’m also an avid Harry Potter fan which contributes to some of the adventures(or misadventures) I find myself in. I like being outdoors in nature and I absolutely love being anywhere near water. But in this phase of life, I also appreciate luxury and comfort when it comes to accommodations and places I like to eat.

I’m a podcaster for Adventure Is A Lifestyle, and creator and host for the Adventure Is A Lifestyle travel show. I’m also a published photographer.

I’m an environmental activist and a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

I’m learning to carve out a life and identity of my own now that I can finally make decisions without wearing the hat of “mom”.

I don’t believe we were put on this earth just to exist. We are here to learn as much as we can and leave our imprints as we go. People have always been encouraged and even surprised at the things I’ve been able to expose my son to. Especially, because as a black single mother, exposing my son to things like hiking, snorkeling, and camping are seen as out of the ordinary in our community.

I decided that a life this blessed deserved to be shared. 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 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 with all of you. Adventure is a lifestyle!

“It’s only the great outdoors….what are you afraid of?”
