Kelly is a Colorado Native. Although she has lived in Southern Colorado for the majority of her life, within the last few years, she has spent her time exploring each corner of the state and sharing her travels. If she hasn't been there yet, it's on her bucket list.
China is a place Kelly holds dear in her heart. She has lived there twice and each time has been enamored with the culture, food, and people. You'll find a lot of stories and advice on traveling in China and what to expect when you are living there.
Most of my grand adventures have been experienced as a solo female traveler, although on occasion I have friends who come with me or we share in a good adventure, you'll find most of my blogs are primarily geared toward solo female travel.
Kelly's Areas of Travel
Boutique Hotels
You can like both camping and staying in a cozy hotel. I personally love visiting boutique hotels and supporting my local businesses. There is also astounding personality within boutique hotels and they're adorable.
Camping
Camping has been a part of my life for most of my life. I love going camping around Colorado, and any other beautiful place for that matter. Be on the lookout for my camping adventures!
Colorado Craft Beer
I LOVE Colorado craft beer. No matter where I go in Colorado, I will always be looking for the nearest brewery. You can tel la lot about a community based on what they concoct in their local brewery.
Food Culture
I love food, and who doesn't? Obviously food during travel is a necessity, but I will make sure to keep you in the loop on local restaurants you will love when traveling around or through this beautiful state.
Outdoors
I love doing everything outdoors whether it is hiking, fishing, rafting, stargazing, or lounging in a meadow somewhere. I have a great connection to the outdoors and think when we connect to outdoors we feel at peace.
Outside Colorado Travel
On occasion, I do leave Colorado to explore other places out of state or out of the country. It's a big world out there! You'll find a lot of content from my time living in China or exploring the rest of the US.
