Meet Alison

Alison wears many hats. She is a filmmaker, adventure traveler, yogi, surfer, and SUP adventurer with a life shaped by exploration from the very beginning. Her childhood unfolded across mountains, jungles, deserts, and remote wilderness areas as she traveled with her expedition photographer father and yoga teacher mother.

That early exposure to wild places helped shape Alison’s creative voice and adventurous spirit. Through Alison’s Adventures, she shares stories from around the world, blending travel, environmental awareness, humor, and personal experience in a way that invites people to care more deeply about the planet.

On the water, Alison relies on Sawyer paddles for their dependable feel, craftsmanship, and connection to real adventure. Whether she is stand-up paddling, surfing, filming, or exploring new waterways, her gear needs to feel natural, durable, and ready for the next story.

“My life has been a continuous whirlwind of high adventure.”
