Born and raised in Colorado, I developed a deep love for the mountains and an outdoor lifestyle from an early age. My upbringing sparked my passion for adventure and travel, as my dad, a pilot, took our family on numerous trips, allowing me to explore many places and understand the intricacies of a successful journey. This early exposure instilled in me a strong sense of wanderlust and a love for discovering new destinations.

Although I’ve always had an affinity for the ocean, my appreciation has grown even more since marrying someone from Hawaii. The unique blend of my mountain roots and newfound love for the ocean allows me to approach travel with a well-rounded perspective.
