Hi there! We’re Cory and Alyssa. We’re a married couple living in beautiful, sunny Arizona. We started Aspiring Wild to document our adventures in our favorite place: the great outdoors. While we spend most of our time wandering amongst the saguaro cacti and ponderosa pines in our current home state, we also love exploring other states and abroad. As California natives, the Sierra Nevada mountains hold a special place in our heart – so much so that we got engaged and married there – and we go back as often as we can. We hope you find an adventure here that inspires one for you!
