I grew up in the renowned ski resort town of Vail, Colorado, but I’ve lived in South Korea for over 15 years, working as an English teacher.

For over 20 years, I’ve explored the globe, maintaining my adventurous Colorado spirit while traveling extensively in Asia and beyond.

I write about international skiing, hiking, outdoor adventures, dog-friendly travel, and gear to help you bring the Colorado lifestyle to your travels.

Follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, or join my free Facebook group for tips, inspiration, and conversation about outdoor travel in Asia and Oceania.
