I didn't grow up outdoors.

I wasn't the kid skiing at five or camping every summer. I learned almost everything in my late 20s. slowly, awkwardly, and honestly, with a lot of fear in the beginning.

Back then, I didn't know what I was capable of. I didn't know who I could become if I really tried.

So I decided to find out.

Not to prove anything to others but to myself.

That's why I started creating my Bucket List Adventures. I wanted something to look forward to every year. Something bigger than routine. Something that challenged me and reminded me there's more to life when you step outside your comfort zone.

Every adventure became a new step not just out in nature, but within myself. I learned that courage isn't the absence of fear, it's choosing to try, even when you don't know what you're doing yet.

Most of my adventures began solo, and I grew to love that. Those experiences shaped me. They made me feel alive, grounded, and capable in a way I had never felt before.

I still feel that nervous excitement before every adventure. Even now. That feeling never went away, and honestly, I hope it never does.

It reminds me I'm alive, learning, growing, and stepping into the unknown with curiosity instead of fear.

I'm not here as an expert or a guide. I'm just someone who chose to try, even when I didn't feel ready, and it changed my life.

And if any part of you feels that same spark that "maybe I could try too" feeling then I hope my journey gives you the nudge you need to start yours.

Because adventure isn't about being fearless it's about being brave enough to begin.

We all start somewhere. And the magic is in taking that first step.
