ABOUT
Hey There! Glad you are here!
The love of the great outdoors has been a part of me since as long as I can remember.
My entire life has consisted of exploring state parks, adventuring on countless road trips, swimming in backcountry lakes, standing atop of mountain peaks, decades of living in mountain towns and endless EXPLORING of our beautiful world!
Go Explore Outside was created to share these experiences, inspire you and ignite your adventurous spirit.
As a female, I find the best things about being ‘outdoorsy’, is the ability to be self-reliant and flexible to the ever-changing challenges of each adventure.
Just a few memorable moments that pushed my limits:
Backpacking
Backpacking to peak of Mt Whitney twice
Camping
Road tripped for 3 months while TENT camping
snow
Countless ski days and hundreds of feet of snow shoveled
Water
Canoeing with pod of orcas off coast of San Juan Islands
Adventure
Surviving 2-hour thunderstorm at 12,000 ft on exposed granite (our group of ladies crushed this unexpected moment)
Travel
Living on the remote Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland
