ADVENTURER. STORYTELLER. COLLECTOR OF QUESTIONABLE IDEAS.
HI, I’M SUSAN!
I’m Susan Taylor, the woman behind Taylored Adventures.
I’ve explored more than 50 countries, raised two adventurous daughters, and developed a habit of saying yes to things that occasionally make my husband question my judgment.
I love a good adventure, but what I really love is a good story. Especially the kind that starts with, “So, I had this idea…”
THE PEOPLE MAKE THE STORY
MY FAVORITE PEOPLE TO GET LOST WITH.
I met my husband, Scott, while backpacking through Europe. We’ve been collecting adventures together ever since.
These days, we’re raising two daughters, Ella and Nora, who have grown up exploring the world alongside us.
And when I’m not dragging my family into something, I have a wonderful group of friends who are remarkably willing to participate in my nonsense.
NOT EXACTLY A STRAIGHT LINE
THE UNEXPECTED ROUTE.
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in broadcast journalism, somehow became a nuclear medicine technologist, and eventually worked my way up to vice president of outpatient operations for a healthcare system.
In 2017, I stepped away from my executive career to focus on family. Eventually, I found myself wondering what I wanted to build next.
Turns out, it involved a lot more adventure.
SO, WHAT’S TAYLORED ADVENTURES?
ADVENTURE. STORYTELLING.
GIVING BACK.
Taylored Adventures is where my love of adventure, storytelling, and giving back come together.
Right now, I’m tackling 50 Before 50, a personal challenge to complete 50 meaningful adventures before my 50th birthday. I’m also building the Taylored Adventure Fund, which helps make adventure more accessible to people who face barriers to experiencing it.
Along the way, I’m sharing the experiences, the lessons, the unexpected detours, and occasionally the spectacular failures.
Glad you’re here. Hope you’ll come along for the ride.
