Terri's Bio

Terri grew up close to the Rocky Mountains and has done extensive hiking and biking through the many trails it has to offer. She loved being out in nature so much that she went to school for Outdoor Education and Adventure Tourism so she could get paid to play outside everyday. She even studied in Norway for a period of time, learning about Friluftslive which translates “open air living” or the love of outdoor living. When she is not outside seeking out adventures you can find her in her garden, trying out new hydroponic techniques, or practicing American Sign Language.
