Hey friend! I’m so excited you’ve come across my blog. Here is a little bit about me! 

My name is Samantha Bell, but I prefer to be called Sam. I am from a super small town just north of Charlottesville, VA (go Hoos!). I attended the University of Mary Washington for a year a half and have decided to take this next semester off to focus on preparing myself for the World Race Gap Year. 

I’m blessed to have an older brother and two amazing parents. They are all super supportive of my journey, and I can’t thank them enough for that.

Here are a few things I love the most: my dogs Oakley and Joy, mountains, long road trips, small coffee shops, and Jon Bellion. 

I am so excited/nervous/anxious for this next chapter of my life. It’s really happening, y’all.
