Meet Roam Free Rebecca

I grew up in Oregon, which gave me a love of the outdoors, and I was born in Germany, which instilled a love of travel in me at an early age. I first took up photography in high school to document my family travels, teaching myself photography basics to share my experiences outdoors and abroad.

In college I studied Biology, all set to continue on the family path to becoming a doctor. I dabbled in photography on the side, working as a newspaper photographer, and I even did an internship with a wedding photographer. But come graduation time, I realized I didn’t want photography to be just a hobby for the rest of my life.

After college I moved to the U.K. to study wildlife and macro photography, and I also started on the pathway of becoming a filmmaker. After I graduated, I moved back to the Pacific Northwest, where I began to see the incredible landscapes I grew up with with a different eye than before. Travel & outdoors photography quickly became my main calling.

I worked a design job to pay the bills, but I went out every weekend to take photographs, growing my skills in the field and at home in my editing. I also started sharing my travel adventures on social media and on this very blog. Through trial and error, I began to travel smarter and take most of my trips solo – and I realized I wanted to help others do the same.

A few years later, I had finally built up my business to a point where I could jump into photography, content creation, and blogging as my full time job. Now I spend my days adventuring, working with brands, editing photographs, writing blogs, and sharing my experiences on social media. Thank you for being part of my journey. Now let’s go out and explore!

This year, I’m embarking on my greatest adventure yet: a year+, bucket-list trip around the world. Be sure to follow along on social media (links below!) and sign up for my newsletter to get all my BEST travel tips and itineraries to help YOU plan YOUR dream trip!

Say hello to travel guides

I’m passionate about helping women grow their confidence in traveling solo, take self-portraits, and find a community of like-minded adventurers.
