I’m Shelly. A yogi, traveler, and devoted foodie currently living in the mountains of Bavaria. My passion for travel was sparked during a life-changing study abroad experience in Spain, and since then, curiosity has guided me across continents, cultures, and cuisines.
Originally from the Midwest, I moved to SoCal after completing my MBA, and went on to live and work in Newport Beach, Boston, and Denver. Germany has long held a special place in my heart—I first moved to Munich in 2005, and today I call Garmisch home, nestled at the foot of the Zugspitze, Germany’s tallest peak.
Through this blog, I share stories from the road, lessons learned through slow and intentional travel, and the joy of discovering new places through movement, mindfulness, and food. My goal is to inspire fellow adventurers and help others explore the world with curiosity, confidence, and a sense of wonder.
