Do you like travel, the great outdoors, and experiencing new things?  Me, too!  Join me as I share my adventures, misadventures, and general shenanigans that have taken me all over this country and the world.  Questions about places and things?  Check out the categories drop-down menu to see what I’ve written about.  I’m always adding new things!

(Aarhus, Denmark)

I’ve been traveling my whole life, from camping on the Outer Banks at 2 to hiking the Grand Canyon at 13 to studying abroad in Denmark at 20 to wherever I’m headed this year!  I was lucky enough to have a family that instilled in me a love of all things nature along with enough independence to not get myself into too much trouble while exploring.  Usually.

Originally from Michigan, I’m now in Utah working as a ski patroller, which is basically the best job ever.  Alongside that, I train horses and write/blog until my hands go numb.  My job gives me a couple of off seasons per year, during which I do my best to disappear to wherever sounds the most interesting at the moment.

Feel free to email me with any questions!       whitney@trekandtraipse.com
