WHO AM I
Colleen Tolan
Living in San Diego, California
Avid Adventurer, Cat Lover, Environmentalist
Full time Student at California State University San Marcos
As a full time student with two jobs, its easy to say my life is pretty busy. Keeping such a busy schedule can be stressful, but I find my release (and quite frankly, my sanity) in getting out and exploring both the local gems found here in San Diego, and the world more generally. I believe adventure is food for the soul. You can look forward to posts about my adventures in the outdoors, cool hotels to stay in, incredible places to eat, hip coffee shops (of course), and maybe some cool wine tasting spots. Currently, most of my trips are along the west coast, but I'm hoping to expand my range soon.
Here's a little background on me. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, in other words, I love and will always love the word 'Hella.' Now I live in the San Diego area. I'm still not quite sure why people put the word 'the' before freeway names and will always reject it. Although, I must admit that the words 'rad' and ''gnarly' have grown on me. I'm a nature lover and tree-hugger, currently pursuing a degree in environmental studies with a focus in education. I love water sports, the beach, hiking, watching baseball (Go Giants!), and traveling, obviously.
This adventure blog is my way of chronicling and sharing my adventures and the rad places I get to experience with friends and family, or anyone else bizarre enough to want to follow along (shout out to you though!). I would like to acknowledge my main travel partner, Connor Eck. Thank you for always agreeing to go on wild spontaneous trips with me without question. Half of it wouldn't be possible without you, and I greatly appreciate your support and enthusiasm. As for the everyone else, thanks for taking the time to check out my travels.
Happy Travels
