Chelsey Stevens was born in Richland, Washington, but moved to Florida as a small child. Her family fostered her love for nature by taking her on trips to local springs as well as camping. In her early 20s, she moved to Oregon, where she developed a passion for hiking. 

Chelsey moved back to Florida after four years.   As she became more involved with the outdoor community, Chelsey took on various leadership roles.  She currently serves as the Programs Coordinator for the Central Florida Chapter of the Florida Trail Association and sits on the board for FT Thru hike, a nonprofit dedicated to assisting those attempting to thru-hike the Florida National Scenic Trail. 

Chelsey and Chris  are excited to use their podcast to assist folks in navigating outdoor opportunities responsibly and encourage others to leave everything they touch better than they found them.
