Wanderlust has always been a part of my soul. It consumes me. And because of it, I refuse to live an ordinary life.

My heart settled in Vail, Colorado, with a husband, a house, and a family. But I never stopped exploring or seeking out beauty in the world. I founded The Outdoorista as an outdoor adventure and travel blog featuring destination guides, trails, tips, and advice to inspire and support female and family travel.
