Bradlee has always enjoyed taking the road less traveled. Whether that was interning at a radio station in Kenya at 18 or taking off to Germany to be an au pair after college, she likes to do things a little differently. She spent the last decade traveling through Europe via sketchy hostels, hiking through National Parks (Zion is a personal favorite), and exploring more of her home state of California.

Although she likes checking off the must-see places on her list, her favorite part about travel is feeling connected to the world and people around her. She finds inspiration in the stories people tell and the quiet that nature provides. She loves the way travel constantly pushes her beyond her comfort zone so she’s forced to think outside the box in creative ways.

Still new to San Diego, Bradlee is excited to explore all the area has to offer and continue her hunt for the best taco and shawarma spots. When not out exploring or working, she likes to spend time with her husband, relax with her cats and a good book, or practice her baking skills.
