I’M ON A MISSION TO HELP YOU GO PLACES AND EXPERIENCE MORE
I’m Emily, a travel enthusiast and lifestyle content creator based in Washington, DC. My background in outdoor adventures and local explorations is the foundation of everything I share—from the hidden gems in our own backyards to the journeys that take us across the globe.
I believe that adventure should be accessible, and I’m here to inspire and empower you to discover the world around you. By fostering a community of enthusiastic explorers and partnering with like-minded brands, I’m committed to bringing unique, unforgettable experiences to life. Whether we’re hitting a local trail or planning a getaway, let’s go places together.
Fun Facts:
World traveler in progress!
I’ve explored 28 countries and 45 U.S. states—and I’m not stopping until I’ve filled up my passport (I’m already on my third one!).
Double the degrees, double the fun!
I’ve earned two Master’s degrees and even serve on the Alumni Board of my alma mater.
¡Pura Vida!
I lived in Costa Rica for a year with a host family, where I mastered making gallo pinto and learned to embrace life the Central American way.
Thrill seeker alert!
Skydiving? Check. Bungee jumping? Check. What’s next? TBD, but it’ll definitely come with a side of adrenaline.
Military Family
I am the proud wife of an active duty soldier.
Massachusetts born and Boston proud!
I grew up as a die-hard Boston sports fan, and yes—I still have feelings about Tom Brady leaving the Patriots.
Game night champion!
Scrabble and Monopoly Deal are my jam. Bring your A-game if you want to challenge me—friendly trash talk is a given.
Morning person by choice!
I’m up by 5:30 AM most days because nothing beats a morning workout followed by a few cups of hot tea.
