A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in North Dakota, spending most of my life there and traveling very little during that time. However, I always had big dreams of seeing what else the world had to offer. I didn't really start traveling until after I met my husband, who I fully credit with expanding my horizons. We bonded over a shared love of the great outdoors and discovered that we enjoy a lot of the same things, fine dining and staying active, to name a few. Shortly after moving in together, we found ourselves stuck inside due to COVID and made the move to Austin. This is when I made a career shift from accounting to teaching yoga, the best decision ever. Through yoga, I found that I enjoy helping others feel good about themselves, which is how Aesthetically Adventurous came to be.

​

Being from the middle of nowhere, I knew very little about what to expect on many of the trips I found myself on. Even after researching 'what to wear' or 'where to go,' I would still feel unprepared or anxious about what I packed. As a fashion-forward girl who also values comfort, I found it challenging to discover packing lists that truly aligned with my personal style. When searching for things to do or places to eat, I was often left disappointed by the typical “must-try” recommendations on Yelp. I also crave activities that keep me entertained and energized, because for me, a great trip is about feeling good from the inside out. Over time (and through plenty of trial and error) I’ve learned how to pack smart, discover truly great places to eat, and stay active in ways that make me feel good while on vacation. I want to help others feel confident before they embark on their next adventure, whether that be at home or abroad. I hope my page resonates with you.
