The Bethany behind TrailBlazer Beth! I'm an outdoor enthusiast looking to put my travel experience to work for others. Currently based in South Florida and originally from little Rhode Island. I've visited national parks, preserves, forests, conservation lands, monuments, historic sites, and seashores, but am always eager to plan and book new trips. I make every effort to thoroughly research destinations, whether they're infamous or off-the-beaten-path. To make the most of my travels, I try to make every dollar stretch. When not traveling and hiking, I can be found behind my desk typing away for my day job in digital marketing for an equestrian company. Staying inside is not my strong suit though, so paddle boarding, working out, yoga, and anything outdoors is my escape.
