Meet Vanessa
Hi! I’m Vanessa – Freelance Writer, Content Creator, Traveler, and Husky Mama to Loki & Freya.
I’d like to welcome you to The Well Worn Shoes. I’m so glad you’re here! The Well Worn Shoes is a labor of love and a place where wanderlust is welcome, and I hope to inspire you to follow yours!
If you are looking for tips on traveling with dogs, anything related to National Parks, becoming a Digital Nomad, or travel trailer living, you’re in the right place!
Brian, the pups, and I practice leaving no trace on our adventures and encourage you to do the same.
Some Random Facts About Me:
- I love 90’s Music
- Hiking
- Kayaking
- Photography
I also love to research new places and countries, and that’s ultimately what led me to offer Trip Planning Services and Itineraries – let me do that research heavy lifting for you!
It’s nice to meet you. I hope you’ll stick around for a while and see where these well worn shoes are off to next (see what I did there? Haha).


Meet Brian
Salutations! I’m Brian and writing my mandatory bio…
I was born and raised in Colorado living the #granolalife summiting all the 14ers and shredding the gnarr on the regular. Joined the Army after high school and just finished 21 years.
I love being outside and have spent most of my life dutifully building my skills to become a mediocre survivalist and outdoorsman. I view everything through the lens of how I could fish that water or hunt that land.
Now that I am retired, I spend most of my income to live like a homeless person… and I love it.
