Hey y'all and welcome to my blog! I am Taylor Long and I was born and raised in Plano/Frisco, Texas. I graduated from the University of North Texas in 2013 and currently work as an event manager for Whiskey Cake kitchen + bar in Plano, TX.

​

I have always loved to travel and the sense of freedom it provided. My first real taste of adventure was traveling to Australia at age 13 without my parents, and ever since then my longing of exploration has grown. In 2014 I embarked on a backpacking trip around the world alone. It was the scariest, most liberating 5 months of my entire life, thus far. I didn't let social norms, judgement or fear stop me from going to explore what the world has to offer. I have visited 27 countries so far and counting. People always ask me where my favorite place is and that is a hard question to answer. I believe adventures are defined by the people and experiences. However, if I have to choose a place, I would pick New Zealand for its natural beauty, adventure and people. 

​

I just recently started camping and it has been a game changer in the way I view traveling. When I travel and meet people from other countries I always ask if they had to been to such and such city. I find that the majority of people have not explored their own country and instead have chosen that elsewhere is more interesting, just as I had done. Therefore I have made my newest conquest to visit as many U.S. National Parks as I can and explore my own country.

​

In addition to traveling, I enjoy living a health lifestyle while putting good nutrients in my body, while splurging here and there. I am also an independent business owner for PURE products, that is plant based nutrition and supplements for everyday life. With a Sports Nutrition line, weight loss, and overall health it fits the needs for everyone to maintain a healthy life.

Thank you for your support and I hope to give great tips, and to inspire others to live a more adventurous, healthy life.
