Hello everyone! I am Stephanie, the author of this blog and an avid wilderness explorer. I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and fell in love with the outdoors at a very young age. Growing up, I could think of nothing I wanted more than to experience the pure freedom that the outdoors offered. I graduated from the University of Tampa in 2013 with a BS in Environmental Science, the same year I was blessed with my first son. We have been exploring the Florida wilderness ever since! In 2016, I met my wonderful fiancee and became step mom to three more amazing children. Throughout our travels, I aim to instill a sense of love and respect for the environment in their hearts and souls, to show them the same wilderness that I fell in love with as a child, and to encourage them to help protect and conserve nature for their future children. One step at a time.
