Heide was born and raised in Montana by parents who provided the opportunity to experience the great outdoors and dream big. Those dreams turned into the love of travel. That love of travel expanded into traveling around the world as my "day" job sent me to live to live in Japan, Wales and France. When the world shut down in 2020, I was "grounded" after 14 years of non-stop travel. However, once the travel industry began to kick off again, I was encouraged by friends and family to share my experiences and love of travel. So here I am!
I am a scuba diver and avid snorkeler. The majority of my travels have been as a solo traveler. I have done everything from volunteer tourism and giving back to local communities while enjoying the sites to full luxury travel where I don't need to ask for anything. I enjoy blending in with my surroundings and learning about local life while checking off places on my bucket list.
