The Whimsical Woman

April 2018 Featured Creator

Hello! First of all, thank you for making it this far on this page.  I am so excited to share my adventures with you.

A Bit About Me...

To start, my name is Jennifer Mabus and I am originally from Reno, NV, but now reside in Seattle, WA. 

I grew up doing gymnastics, aiming for the Olympics, but after countless injuries my dream was shattered.  Since then, I stayed busy by playing soccer, volleyball, and track, but investing most of my time into dance and cheer.  Some of the best memories I have are cheering in college at the University of Nevada, and working for the National Cheerleader's Association.

What I Love To Do...

I am a Mechanical Engineer who has been able to work in Hawaii and now the Pacific Northwest.  Living in these areas have helped me develop a deep love for the mountains.  I feel more like myself outside than anywhere else.  My insecurities vanish, my confidence grows, and I feel like I'm right where I am supposed to be. 

My website is dedicated to all of my adventures, whether in the mountains or on a plane traveling to some new country.  I hope some of you find this inspiring and entertaining.  I also HIGHLY encourage recommendations on places to visit.  Just shoot me a message and I will be so thankful!

My Next Big Adventure...

In April 2018, I will be attempting to walk 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington on the Pacific Crest Trail.  This is going to be a trip of a lifetime and one of the most profound experiences I have ever had.  I want to truly live intentionally and get back to the basics and reset.  This world is way too beautiful to not go explore and I really hope to show it to you through my eyes.  I am not a professional writer, photographer, or videographer.  But that is not the point.  These are my experiences and holding on to them for just myself doesn't seem right. 

Hopefully I will see you out on the trails or in some café in London!  Either way, keep your head up, believe in yourself, and never stop pursuing your dreams.
