About me:

Hi! I'm Stacy, a mid- (ok, upper-) twenties gal, born and raised in Manhattan.  I love NYC and all it has exposed me to throughout my life.  But I am also aware it is basically a big bubble, and there is a whole world out there beyond the skyscrapers and best pizza in the world.  I have always wanted to spend some time outside the bubble and see what 'real life' is like in different parts of the world.  I've wanted to try new foods, drinks and activities, and I've dreamed of visiting natural wonders, historical sites and renowned works of art.

So I finally did it!  I quit my media / marketing job, renewed my passport and hopped on what would be my first of 17 flights in three months or just about 100 days of travel.  My travel style is Active Glampacking:  taking part in local sports and activities to satisfy my love of fitness and action while 'glamorously' backpacking wherever I go... aka always enjoying and sometimes splurging but trying to be budget conscious throughout.  Hopefully my posts reflect this and more!

As of August 2014, I am back from my adventure across 11 countries and I have been inspired, educated and given a serious case of the travel bug!  As I adjust to life back in New York, I have a couple of ideas for how to revamp this site to continue documenting my adventures and providing travel tips while focusing on my original vision for the site:  active adventures - seeing the world while staying active, taking on local adventures and enjoying the occasional adrenaline rush!

Thanks for stopping by,
Stacy
