Hi, I’m Cassie, aka That Outdoorsy Gal. I’ve always believed the best stories start outdoors. Back in 2016, I sold most of what I owned, packed up my Jeep Liberty, and set out on a solo road trip to explore every state west of the Mississippi River. That journey changed me. It deepened my love for nature, taught me the power of storytelling, and sparked the adventures I still share today.

These days, I still spend a lot of time exploring on my own. While I’m very outdoorsy, my husband isn’t quite the same way, so a lot of my hiking and traveling happens solo, and I genuinely love it. But I also love knowing I have someone at home who supports every adventure, listens (very patiently) to all my stories, and pretends to be just as excited as I am while flipping through hundreds of photos.

Why I Do This

At the heart of it all, I believe time outside changes us. Nature gives us perspective, adventure brings us joy, and stories connect us. Through That Outdoorsy Gal, I share my journey and I hope it inspires you to start (or keep building) your own. Through That Outdoors Podcast, I share other's stories in hopes it inspires you to share yours.
