I’m Gab, an Upstate New York local passionate about helping people discover the kind of life that feels both grounded and adventurous. After spending nearly a decade in corporate marketing, I shifted my focus to telling stories about the region I call home and exploring how people can build financial freedom and fulfillment outside big cities.

My journey has taken me from growing up in Saratoga Springs to working in San Diego and traveling internationally before ultimately returning to Upstate New York with fresh perspective. Today I live in Troy, where I share insights on local culture, outdoor adventures, and unconventional paths to building a meaningful life in this underrated region.
