My NAME IS MARIE ELENA AND
I CREATED PURPLE HOOD ADVENTURES. HERE’S WHY!
Purple Hood Adventures is a travel, lifestyle and creative influencing community built off the idea that life is not a rehearsal but something we live everyday! Rather than focusing on retirement or that “vacation from work,” why not focus on building a life we don’t need to escape from? It is our belief that travel and experiencing other cultures and ourselves outside our comfort zones should be looked upon as MORE than “that must be nice,””maybe some day” or “I’ll just live vicariously through pictures!” We are a community of explorers, adventurers and creatives bold enough to make experiences a priority and a lifestyle. Our goal is to help more people out there exactly like us accumulate more than just “stuff” and to find themselves by living a life of passion through worldly connections and adventures and by truly following their dreams. Every day. Read More…
