Meet the Bucket List Mermaid
I’ve spent years chasing wild adventures, exploring off-the-beaten-path places, and capturing the magic of those moments through my camera lens.
This space is for anyone who’s tired of the ordinary and hungry for stories, tips, and inspiration to live boldly and travel authentically.
Whether you’re planning your next epic trip, wanting to take better photos, or just craving a life full of wonder, you’re in the right place.
Why a Mermaid?
Because mermaids are wild, adventurous, fearless, and free, just like the kind of life I help you chase.
I’ve always loved the ocean (my parents literally got married underwater), but “mermaid” became more than a theme. It became a mindset. It’s about diving deep into new experiences, swimming against the current, and turning the everyday into magic.
The mermaid tail? That’s just for fun (and some serious side-eyes in public). But this blog is for anyone who wants to travel boldly, capture beauty through a lens, and live a life worth splashing around in.
I’m not here to help you be a mermaid. I’m here to help you live like one.
