"Adventure is what makes me feel most alive and feels my soul," Shelby says. "I think when we're outside, everything is just so simple." Her mission in life has been to encourage young women to pursue their wild ideas no matter what they are.
If you have a strong why for pursuing a wild adventure, you’re more likely to find a way to get it done.
