Hi, I’m Andrea!
I started this blog as a way to share travel tips and inspire others to explore more of the world around them. Adventure can be found anywhere and I hope this blog can inspire your next one.
I’m originally from the Indiana Dunes but now reside in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. I love all things outdoors (hiking and skiing are my favorite!) and travel, and believe that travel is the best teacher we can ever have in life.
I’m a full time Engineer with a major case of wanderlust, and after exploring 38 countries (over 35 of them solo!), my bucket list seems to keep growing; I’m more than okay with that.
I like to think that having an eternal bucket list is a great idea. It lends to a curious mind and a drive to experience life to it’s fullest – to grab life by the horns and hold on tight, because it’s one wild ride.
My goal for this page is to inspire you to live a life of adventure and to experience the magic and joy that travel and new experiences can bring. Whether that’s through adventure, budget, or solo-travel, I hope my blog can inspire you to get out and go.
I’m so glad you’re here.
