avid international traveler

Hi! I'm Shelbi. I'm a California-based content creator with a passion for international travel. I've been sharing my adventures abroad for more than a decade, both on this blog and via social media hoping to inspire others to seek out similar experiences. I firmly believe that world travel is good for the soul.

I started traveling back in 2009. It was a two week backpacking trip through Peru that started it all. I visited the Amazon and hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and the rest is history. Since then, I've traveled to more than 50 countries, and have been through the gnarliest of adventures. Everything from tracking wild chimpanzees in the rainforests of Uganda to sleeping under glacier waterfalls in New Zealand.

Happy travels. xx
