Hi, I’m Taryn!

Hi, I’m Taryn!

I travel extensively, hike kind of a lot, am a champion of the underdog, definitely don't identify as 'indoorsy,' have a serious love affair with glamping, believe life largely revolves around eating and drinking well, and I'm a wannabe photographer. If any of that resonates with you, let's connect!

I've seen the Blues over a dozen times, but always from land - and honestly, I didn't think it would be much different from a boat. I was wrong!

Fun (maybe not-so-fun, I suppose) fact: my trip to Pensacola was booked MONTHS ago, and my itinerary was verrrrrry different up until the beginning of this month. The govt shutdown meant I couldn't visit Fort Pickens, the Gulf Island National Seashore, and several other spots. It also meant the Blue Angels weren't traveling for air shows, so they practiced at home instead. I would never have seen this, much less from the water, if things were business as usual. When life gives you lemons...

Thank you for this unforgettable experience @friskymermaidpb and @visitpensacola !!
