About Me
Hey there!!! I’m Shelly, a travel enthusiast who specializes in the outdoors from backpacking, hiking, canoeing, fishing, snowboarding… You get the picture ;). Anyway, I use to always dream about quitting my full-time 9-5 job and traveling full-time. So I did it! And I did that for about 3 years and have had plenty of travel experience before and after those 3 EPIC years. So what happened? Well, I fell in love and now I’m living in my hometown Buffalo, NY. But no worries! I didn’t fall back into the 9-5 grove. No way!!! I have my own business now in Buffalo so that’s right! Travel is still right up my alley! Can I go for months on end like I use to. Probably not. My business would suffer. Can I take lots of small vacations? Heck yeah! So this website used to be geared for solo women traveling full time. Now its geared for pretty much everyone. Small vacations to large ones. Traveling solo or with a partner. I will say I’m geared more toward adventure. So if your full of adventure, you want to travel, you like the outdoors, this site is For You!!! Welcome to Living on the Dirt!!!!
