Hi, I’m Shelby!
If you’ve found yourself on my page, welcome! My name is Shelby, I’m from the United States and I have been passionate about travel for the last decade of my life. So far, I have traveled to many different countries and 45 out of 50 U.S. states. I continuously dream of visiting even more new places!
I’m a native Kentuckian who works a regular 9-5 job, is married to the love of my life/travel partner, Chris, and a fur mom to my sassy little cat, Zoe. My love for travel came into full bloom when I took my first abroad trip to Fiji doing volunteer work, and since then, I’ve been on countless adventures with my husband, friends and sometimes just myself! Not only do I love to write, but I love to share my travel stories and connect with others who have also been bitten by the travel bug.
I hope to be able to show others that it is totally possible to fulfill your dreams of wanderlust while being able to balance your commitments back at home. Consider this a journal diving into my old archives and new escapades, while also being a guide for you as you plan your next adventure!
Anywho, I hope you enjoy my posts and follow along with me on my travels!
