About

Meet Vanessa

Hi! I’m Vanessa – Freelance Writer, Content Creator, Traveler, and Mama to Loki, Freya & Caly.

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, you’re in the right place!

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 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.

Lamar Valley, you win. Every single time. 🔥

🛑🚫 If you are driving through Lamar Valley with dogs please don’t give them any access (back windows fully down) where they can get out of your car. Turns our bison don’t like to be chased by dogs 🤷🏻‍♀️🛑🚫
