Hey there. My name is Claire and I'm a 26 year old New England native, now Army Officer, currently living in Bavaria, Germany, for three years. After growing up in a small town, I can't get enough of adventuring, meeting different people, and seeing life from a new perspective. And lucky for me, I met my husband Drew who shares the same life pace and desire to “do the most.”
Travel has made me more compassionate, grateful, inspired, empathetic, aware, knowledgeable, cultured, and alive. Although I never plan to stop traveling, I caught this persistent case of wanderlust at the start of my 20s and want to use this decade to gain life perspective and absorb as much I can of what this beautiful planet has to offer. Hence, “the adventure decade.”
From 2020-2021, we obviously were not able to do as much adventuring and put a lot of effort into fixing up our century-old home in Colorado prior to moving overseas.
Why blog? Well, I love recording destinations and projects, writing, taking pictures, and editing photos. Starting a blog was the easiest way to combine these interests. Not to mention, I'm blown away how much we as humans forget. I love the details. When I write or put together photos, all those little memories can be relived later. Better yet, I can share my experiences with family, friends, and anyone else interested. Now that I’m a new mom, I’m even more motivated to record our time living in Europe because it’s also a record of Joey’s first few years of life!
I hope this blog inspires you to explore new places and live life to the fullest. Thanks for joining me on this decade of adventure!
