About shelly

Hi, I'm Shelly! A traveler, hiker and an outdoor enthusiast. My dream my whole life was to travel, so I stopped dreaming and started doing. I quit my job and I am currently doing whatever it takes to keep going. I'll pick up jobs along the way and do what it takes to keep being a full-time traveler! I can prove that you don't need to come from money or anywhere special to live your dream. You just have to have the power of your own life to finally say YES!

Capital Reef National Park- Utah

Capital Reef, in my opinion is one of the most underrated parks. It seems that of all the parks of the "Big 5" in Utah; Zion, Bryce, Arches, and Canyonlands, Capital Reef is the one you hear the least about. I was not expecting much upon my arrival to Capital Reef, but that all [...]
