Tasman Sea, New Zealand
Hey there, thanks for stopping by my little piece of the internet! My name is Chelsea, I am 38 years old living in the great state of Alabama. I have lived a somewhat of nomadic life with moving 12 times and living in places all between Texas and Maine. But now being newly married to my amazing husband John it looks like I will be settling down in Alabama for the long haul!
I work the corporate daily grind in marketing but somehow have managed to find ways to escape to exotic places to feed my wanderlust and the adrenaline junkie hidden inside. Most of my travels have been solo trips but pretty excited that I have found my lifelong travel buddy! When I am not collecting stamps on my passport, I still like to look for adventure in my own backyard. I have probably seen more of the U.S. than most. While I hate driving in general, I have always had a four-legged companion so road trip adventures are frequent.
I spent most of my life playing on the water. The ocean is what soothes my soul and where God always speaks to me the loudest. I was raised by an avid outdoorsman/hunter/fisherman so I am always up for getting my hands a little dirty. However, don’t be fooled, I am totally a girly-girl and I am usually fashionably dressed for any occasion and ready for a photo op!
So what’s this blog about?
For one, happiness! Sometimes I get too bogged down with bumps in the road that I forget to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. In 20 years I want to look back on my life and see that I always looked for the sunny side of the situation. Life is going to have its ups and downs but in the moments that we are down that, we remember we are not out. I have so many things that I am looking forward to doing, accomplishing, and sharing. If just my mom reads that’s cool 🙂 But maybe this will inspire others to get out there and follow your dreams, make a difference, and always find the sunny side.
