Amy is a Kansas City-based adventure mom to three kids. She loves exploring all that the middle of the USA has to offer, from hiking trails to family experiences, rivers, museums, restaurants, and more. Before kids, Amy traveled and lived around the world, rode camels, trekked through mountains, and occasionally danced with the locals. Now Amy is usually road-tripping with her kids (and sometimes her husband), getting outside, exploring Kansas City and the Midwest. Amy is passionate about promoting the Midwest as a travel destination and encouraging families to get outdoors with young kids.
