welcome to the life of vamessy :)

Hi Friends!! So you've found yourself on vamessyvlogs? You might be wondering what to expect... 

Well I'll start by introducing myself to those who might not know me: My name is Vanessa and a few years ago I moved ~2,200 miles from Upstate NY to SW Montana in search of adventure and growth because your twenties are the best time for it. 

Do I have any regrets about moving? What does life look like outside of my 9-5? How does one avoid getting eaten by a bear hiking in bear country? Will my mom ever forgive me for moving? Should you challenge a bison to a race? Can you make friends in a new place as an adult?

 You've come to the right place to find all this out and more! :) 

« ACCOUNTABILITY » 

A lot of outdoor enthusiasts don't want to share the locations they visit. Through VamessyVlogs I've done quite literally the opposite and let you guys know almost every location I've been visiting and the only thing I ask is that you enjoy the outdoors responsibly. What does enjoying the outdoors responsibly mean? Why is location sharing so controversial? Click on the lil rock pile to take a minute to read my thoughts on geotagging, being prepared, & in general how to be a decent human on the trails.

« ADVENTURES » 

You  can expect A LOT of nature content here because I am definitely happiest when I am out exploring nature. There is a certain peace to it that I have never gotten from anything else.

However, this section isn't reserved for just nature posts because adventure is EVERYWHERE. So click on my lil bison friend to see some of the different places adventure awaits. 

« FLORA & FAUNA + » 

Over the past few years of living in Montana I've become really intrigued with learning more about the beautiful wildflowers, vegetation, furry friends, and even crawly critters I've been seeing on my hikes. I've always been interested in chasing the sun and the history written in our night stars so I'm sure you can imagine how excited I am to be in big sky country... Click on my blue idas friends to hear about some of the coolest things I've been able to witness courtesy of mother earth :) 

« VAMESSY » 

Figuring out life after college has been a little messy and moving to a completely new area definitely added its own complications. The blog is a little more insight on my day to day life with how I go about planning adventures, making friends, chasing happiness in everyday, gratitude, goals I'm working towards, and honestly whatever I see fit. Enjoy a lil brain dump about ACL recovery and life rn!
