My Story

As a young girl, I knew that I was a bit different from classmates and peers around my age....even a bit estranged from family. I was always yearning for adventure, steady learning how to cultivate and embrace the inner works of me.

It was a long time coming until I boldly stepped out on my own. I did my first solo trip in November 2016 and never looked back.

Here I am, I don't comply within worldly standards...I never did.

This website platform is stated to inspire and birth INFLUENCERS.

The ones that want to make a change in their communities. In my stance, spark a change and gain knowledge in all my travels.

Embark the path with boldness.

Shellsy M. is based in South (yes, there's a big difference lol) Houston, Texas.
