Allie 'Outdoors Allie' D'Andrea

Allie alizaliwa Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania na alivutiwa na nje kama msichana mdogo. Alikulia farasi wa farasi, kupiga kambi na uvuvi na familia yake, na kucheza michezo. Wakati wa miaka yake ya chuo kikuu katika Chuo Kikuu cha Pittsburgh aligundua uwindaji kupitia mpenzi wake wa wakati huo, ambaye sasa ni mume, Nick. Alianza kuandika na kushiriki vituko vyake vya nje kwenye media ya kijamii mnamo 2015 kupitia "Outdoors Allie" kama njia ya kuungana na watu wenye nia kama hiyo; wale wanaowinda chakula chao, wanajali sana wanyamapori, uhifadhi wa ardhi ya umma, na wanafurahia kushiriki baridi karibu na moto wa kambi. Jogoo wake wa kwenda ni margarita ya viungo kutoka mwanzo na radhi yake ya hatia ni kula unga mbichi wa kuki. Kama mtoto aliapa kuwa atakuwa na friji iliyojaa unga wa kuki na sasa anaweza kusema kwa kiburi, anafanya.

In future, I’ll use gravity when I can, and squeeze when I have to.
