Hey, I’m Hailey!
Also known as the Restless Adventurer. My whole life I have lived with a jump in head first and seize the freaking day kind of attitude. As a teenager, I had the opportunity to travel to Kenya, India and Ecuador, where I was hit hard with the travel bug. The result? A never-ending restlessness that comes with the anticipation of the next big adventure.
These days, I have many more adventures under my belt: I moved to Nepal for 7 months, trekked in the Himalayan mountains, slept in floating bungalows in Thailand, and among other things, walked along the edge of one of the world’s tallest buildings. These experiences have left me with a mindset where I’m constantly asking myself “What makes me feel alive?” I am always seeking out any and every opportunity to embark on adventures of epic proportions. I have basically made it my life’s mission to be moving full speed ahead towards meeting all my biggest travel goals, adventure expeditions, and over all else, a life filled with FUN!
So let me ask you something…
What Makes YOU Feel Alive?
- Do you love the rush that comes with trying something new?
- Are you the kind of person who wants to make the most out of life and truly LIVE beyond just existing?
- Are you a self-proclaimed wanderer, explorer, or grand adventurer?
- Do you get that tingly excitement in your stomach when you think of your future adventures?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then congrats, you are in the right place! Another big congrats for being awesome by the way and welcome to a community of other badass adventurers.

More About Me….
Growing up in an outdoorsy family in Ontario, Canada, adventuring was a big part of my childhood. From summers spent camping and exploring national parks to trips abroad to Jamaica, St, Maarten and the United States, I was exposed to a ton of different types of adventure travel.
However, it wasn’t until I embarked on three humanitarian trips to Kenya, India and Ecuador in my teenage years that my passion for pursuing new experiences really hit. It was these trips that really opened my eyes to the wonder and rush that comes with adventuring in new places and stepping outside of my comfort zone.
I attended university not long after these trips, where I studied International Development. During my four years in school, I was still able to save for, plan and embark on my first entirely self-arranged trip to Thailand. I backpacked for 3 weeks across the country, exploring ancient cities, chasing howler monkeys through a rainforest, kayaking amongst towering limestone cliffs, and rock climbing on world class beaches. In my second year of school, I also organized a three week road trip across the United States, visiting destinations like the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Antelope Canyon.
Among all these amazing experiences, my craziest adventure to date was when I moved away from home for the first time. Because unlike the average young adult, I decided I would move all the way across the world to Nepal. If this doesn’t illustrate my jump in head first, eyes closed kind of character, then I don’t know what does. In Nepal, I worked for a fair trade women’s empowerment organization where I got to experience the bustling life of Kathmandu and also glimpse the authentic rural side of Nepal that so few tourists get to see. This trip really opened up my eyes to an alternative side of travel. One that moves much slower and allows for a deeper look into the authentic culture of a country.
Since then, I have made adventuring my TOP priority in life and I have made it my mission to help make it yours!
