About Me

Hi, I'm Sarah Marie! I am an outdoor recreation professional and educator by trade, traveler by nature. My mom instilled a life long passion for exploring for as long as I can remember and I love inspiring other people to do the same. I am a low-budget/high adventure gal when it comes to traveling but more importantly I am intentional about how I explore. I want to keep my footprint small and my respect for cultures and nature high. I hope you'll join me on this journey where I'll be sharing stories, destination guides, travel tips, and moments of real life to keep me grounded. Let's connect, share stories, and inspire each other to roam far and wide!
