Marie Parks , Writer, blogger, business owner

I've been an outdoor enthusiast for as long as I can remember and love to share my experiences through my blog, ardentcamper.com. When I'm not in the woods, you'll find me writing development and marketing materials for Houston-area organizations, walking my dog, or curled up with a good book.

I'm unafraid to explore any path, and I seek out underappreciated gems. No place is too mundane to be worth attention, because I believe there is beauty to be found all over our world. I started giving tours of locations I loved in 2005, and little makes me happier than sharing unexpected wonders with newfound friends.
