Shelby Mata
Hello! My name is Shelby and I live in Kansas City, which is where I grew up (Go Chiefs!). My husband is active duty Air Force and is currently stationed in Guam.
My love for the outdoors started with all of the camping trips we took every summer growing up. Then getting to hike in Colorado, Montana, and Greece during college solidified the love and respect I have for finding those little pockets of natural beauty in our world.
Favorite Adventure: My friends and I love rafting on the Meramec River in Missouri. It's actually a yearly trip we all take to spend a full weekend outdoors.
Favorite Trail Snack: Kettle cooked chips and granola bars. They are easy to pack and eat while out on a trail!
I always pack SUNSCREEN SUNSCREEN SUNSCREEN (only ones made with all natural and wildlife-safe ingredients, of course)
