Life’s too short to stay in one place—let’s travel the map!
Hi, I’m Mackenzie! A Traveler, photographer, and someone who’s always chasing the next adventure. Originally from Buffalo, NY (yes, the city of snow and wings), I’m currently living in Mexico for the winter with my dog, enjoying all that this beautiful country has to offer.
I’ve been lucky enough to travel to 39 states across the U.S. (and counting) and to several countries around the world. But there’s still so much more to explore! I’m always on the lookout for new places to visit, new foods to try (yes, tacos, I’m looking at you), and hidden gems to share with you.
I’m also a photographer and drone videographer, so I’m always capturing the beauty of the places I visit to share with you—whether it’s a stunning sunset or an aerial view of the lush jungle.
About Me: My Travel Story
I’ve always loved adventure. Whether it’s scuba diving in clear blue waters, hiking through rugged landscapes, or hitting the golf course in scenic spots, I’m all about exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. I’ve driven across the U.S. over 10 times, and every road trip has led me to new places, new people, and unforgettable memories.
And now, I’m living in Mexico, which is definitely a dream come true. The weather is perfect, the beaches are amazing, and the food is unreal. Every day I get to discover something new—whether it’s finding a quiet hidden beach, trying out a new street food, or just strolling around the vibrant local markets.
I share my experiences through photos and videos because I believe every adventure is worth capturing. Whether it’s a moment of peace at sunrise or a funny drone video of my dog running around on the beach, I want to take you along on my journey.
Current Adventures: Living in Mexico
Right now, Mexico is home for the winter, and I couldn’t be more excited. From the warm weather and beautiful beaches to the incredible local food, I’m loving every moment of it. Some days I’m hiking through the jungle, exploring ruins, other days I’m sipping a margarita by the beach, and my dog’s living his best life right alongside me.
I’ve been capturing a lot of what I see—mostly because this place is too beautiful not to share. Whether it’s a quiet beach, a bustling market, or a fun day out with friends, I want you to experience it with me. And let’s be real, I’ll probably throw in some silly behind-the-scenes moments, too.
What’s Coming to Travel Next?
I’m just getting started with my travel adventures, and I’ve got a lot more to share! Coming up, I’ll be talking about some of the hidden gems in Playa del Carmen (which I’ve already fallen in love with), plus a list of my must-try local eateries here in Mexico. If you’ve never had a taco from a street vendor, you’re in for a treat.
And as always, I’ll be posting more of my photography and videos to bring you along on my journey—so stay tuned for more travel stories, tips, and (hopefully) some pretty epic drone shots!
