I'm 23 years old and the outdoors has brought me into a new chapter of my life. I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years finally getting out and rising above what I had been through. My best friend helped me and started taking me outdoors to empty my mind and get in touch with the true love that nature brings with all its beauty. We went Canyoneering, rappelling, rock climbing, hiking, dirt bike riding, backpacking, mountaineering, paddle boarding, and more. After I lost him to a rock climbing accident in December I then looked for an outlet once again and I realized the outdoors was my release again. Just everything seems to be more beautiful and more empowering when accomplished with an adventure. The outdoors has changed my life forever and I can only be grateful to have it apart of my life :)
