My life and travels. Come along with me!
Hiking, sailing, scuba diving, fishing, sky diving, tattoo getting, general outdoorsing.
I'm Olivia, a thirty-something year old military veteran looking for a more peaceful existence in the world. And what an incredible world it is. And I want to see it all! Leaving my home town in Kansas at 17, I traded in my ruby slippers for a pair of combat boots. After serving overseas, I felt a bit homesick and came back to my roots. After a few years, I got the itch for adventure again. This time, I put on a pair of hiking boots and became a Park Ranger. This was a kick-ass job and I loved it. After a few years of working in Law Enforcement, I came to the realization that my life had been very...rigid...serious...and man I was tired. I was overdue for an escape. I saved up my money for a few years, sold off what I owned, and took off on an adventure. The best part it sharing it with all of you.
