My name is Bella and life is too short for ‘maybe someday’.

For the longest time, I would scroll through Pinterest looking at stunning adventure and travel photography, thinking “I wish I was there” or “I hope I get to see that one day.” I’d read articles about the experiences other people were having and pine for the chance to live them myself.

Then one day I said “f**k it” — and went out there to do it myself.

I’ve always been a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I love pushing myself further and further to discover exactly what I’m capable of, whether that’s cold weather camping in the Adirondack Mountains or rappelling down a waterfall in Costa Rica. The further I push, the more I realize I’m capable of more than I thought.

I haven’t won the lottery yet (working on it), so almost every adventure I take is on a budget. But here’s what I’ve learned — some of my most memorable experiences have had the smallest price tags.

Turns out the best things in life really might be free. Or at least pretty cheap. So I’m here to share it all — the highs and the lows, the wins and the face-plants, everything I’m lucky enough to experience along the way.
