About The Wandering Nature Nerd
Hello!
I’m Shannon, the voice behind: She Wildly Wanders
I’m a passionate naturalist (a.k.a nature nerd), I have a background in ecology, I absolutely love outdoor adventure travel and I aspire to inspire others to get outside and connect with nature!
I’m stoked to have you along for the journey!
I created She Wildly Wanders to be your go-to destination for immersive outdoor adventures that both celebrates and connects you to all of the wonders Mother Nature has to offer.
Other than wandering around and finding cool nature things to look at, my favourite outdoor adventures include hiking, camping, backpacking, and snowboarding.
Basically anything where you can fully immerse yourself in nature!
Oh yeah, and I try to do all of this as sustainably as possible with my dog, Ziggy, by my side!
Connecting with nature is more than a passion; it’s a source of joy, challenge, and the key to a balanced life. Our experiences in the great outdoors will not only enhance our physical and mental well-being but also foster a sense of environmental stewardship.
If you’re here, this is likely your vibe too!

A little bit more about me:
My life’s passion and my happiest (but also my hardest) moments have come from being out in the wilderness.
While I was navigating the trails as a wilderness horseback riding guide in Banff National Park, I discovered my love for guiding, storytelling and nature education.
This revelation ignited my desire to share the magic of the outdoors and the importance of ecological awareness.
Fast forward to today and I’m still wandering through forests (albeit on foot, not on horseback) and making educational nature content on social media!
Before every adventure, I genuinely enjoy researching everything I possibly can about the place I’m about to travel to.
Key information like: How to get there, the best things to see, the ideal gear to pack and of course all of the neat nature stuff that every travelling nature nerd should keep their eyes open for!
I’d be honoured to inspire and prepare your to live your best, happiest and most connected life out in nature!
So, whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just dipping your toes into the world of outdoor exploration and nature connection, join me in immersing ourselves in the beauty of outdoors!
