About

Welcome to my site! My name is Monica and I love hiking, running, cycling, and any activity that takes me outdoors! I created this site as a place to document my adventures as well as a place to document my progress towards having a successful and fulfilling life.

I grew up in Alabama with parents who loved being active, including hiking, running, swimming, cycling, and triathlons. Some of my best memories are from road races we did as a family or from vacations we took to beautiful places such as the Smoky Mountains.

When I got older, I watched this video from Youtube – you know, the one where this guy films himself doing a silly dance all over the world. I was instantly bitten by the travel bug! Throughout college, I studied abroad and managed to do a fair bit of world traveling.

These days, I try to get outside and go on adventures as much as possible, wherever I end up. I’m currently in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m moving away soon so I’m trying to soak up as much of it as possible! Thanks for following along!
