Hey! I am Active Duty Navy and currently stationed in sunny San Diego. My husband is a Navy veteran and together we have three little boys who love to be outside just as much as I do. Nothing makes me happier than seeing them out on the trail exploring. I would consider myself an expert baby-wearer at this point and seasoned in the art of hiking with small children. My love of the outdoors goes all the way back to my early childhood in northern Florida where my sisters and I would spend our days in the woods pretending to host our own survivalist and animal enthusiast shows. But, I really rediscovered my wanderlust while stationed in Washington during the pandemic. Something about being out in nature, away from civilization, brings me a sense of comfort and elation at the same time. My soul is at home when I’m in the wilderness.
Favorite Adventure: Mt. Ellinor in the Olympic Mountains was my first solo ‘big’ hike and my first solo sunrise hike. I have a deep connection with that summit and it will forever be one of my favorite places in the world. Plus, it’s absolutely breathtaking. I mean, who doesn’t love being nestled among jagged peaks with incredible views below?
Favorite Trail Snack: Uncrustables, or ‘jammiches’ as we referred to them on the ship, and trail mix with lots of chocolate.
I always pack a hat, a multitool with a good knife, mini first aid kit, flash light, trash bag, and a baby carrier since I usually have at least one little one in tow. Not necessarily considered ‘packing,’ but I also always make sure to have an offline map available of where I will be; even if it is just a screen shot for reference.
