Hello, World! I’m Suzy. A happy-go-lucky, cup half full, always smiling, yoga practicing, rock climbing, nature loving, travel blogger.
I work full-time in San Francisco, California as a Manager for a Vocational Consulting firm, and I find every free moment to travel and escape outdoors.
Truth be told, I had never left the country until the ripe age of 21. The only places I had ever visited by the year 2011 were Los Angeles and Hawaii. As an Armenian-America, it’s safe to say I grew up pretty sheltered. When my boyfriend (now husband) decided we should take a Euro trip after college graduation, I was extremely nervous… So was my father.
Nevertheless, I took the leap, and got on that airplane with a big heart and eyes wide open. The moment I landed in Barcelona, I was completely immersed in a different language and culture, and realized so suddenly how travel can change the way you see the World. It shook my soul awake.
Over the next month, Aleks and I continued to travel through Spain, Italy, England, Scotland, Netherlands, and Greece. I was in love with everyone and everything. How had I never left the country before this?! Every new city I visited opened my eyes to what a massive place the World can be if you let it. It was then that I caught the travel bug… and I never looked back.
For the last 6 years, I have been in an endless pursuit for adventure! It’s very hard with a full-time job, but still, I have managed to visit over a dozen countries, taken a safari through the Serengeti, glacier climbed in Iceland, trekked the Inca Trail, partook in a yoga retreat in Costa Rica, and skydived over Napa Valley… just to name a few.
Yes, I LOVE adventure. It makes me feel alive in ways I can’t really describe. But, I’m an avid believer than no one should ever sacrifice luxury for adventure. Who says you can’t glacier climb in Iceland, while retiring to your 5 star lodge for the evening? Who says?! There is always room for both. So, join me on my journey where you can explore the best of both worlds!
Yours truly,
Suzy
