Meet Melissa

I'm Melissa, a nurse by day, but my true passion is for seeing and saving the place we all call home! Together with my daughter Olivia, we spend our days exploring the nation's national parks, waterfalls, back country, and even cities! Our mission is to explore and see as much of the world as possible, while also being committed to conserving its natural beauty! Our goal is to help you explore the great outdoors as a family in a safe and responsible manner! Join us to learn about how you can help us see and save the Earth!
