who are you? lizzie & emilee! recent graduates from brigham young university. lizzie is from vegas, and emilee's from the washington d.c. area. tell us we're diverse.
no, like, your name? we're the yesmads! it was that or the "wanderlusters"...and we kept breaking out into song whenever we heard that one. tell us it doesn't sound like you'd wanna ask, "who ya gonna call?! (ghostbusters!)" when you hear the latter. we got hooked on "yesmads" with the idea that we're nomads (of sorts, or want to be) but we say "YES!" to everything! hence the word substitution.
wait, so what do you want to do? we want to go around to different places, starting local, and document it all. we're a "do" blog--"how to," "where to," and "what to do." we'll document everything, via written & verbal words. so follow our blog and watch our videos! we go out and do, so you can too!
so what exactly will you blog about? everything and anything! but mainly exciting ideas and travels. we may write a post about the top ten things you can do for ten dollars within ten miles of salt lake city....or make a video of the things you definitely want to do if you're spending a weekend in san fransisco. we plan on taking roadtrips. and bringing you, too! through random choosings (maybe going to a mall and seeing who will drop everything for the weekend to come with us, gas & expenses paid for?) or contests won by readership (maybe after a certain number of followers, we'll choose one to be featured in our weekend video). either way, we want to get people involved--that's the funnest way to see if what we're doing is fun to more people other than just us.
where did you get this idea? we won a trip to ecuador this past summer, and after having the best 10 days possible (after receiving only a small stipend each) we decided we wanted to see what else we could do. we're both constantly seeking out adventure and fun. our friends have told us that they love following us, hearing and seeing the things we constantly do with our lives. we want to find the fun in each place and situation, and bring it to you: narrow down the "must-see"s and "must-do"s of each place, while documenting and enjoying every second of it. by saying "yes" to everything!
why? if not now, when? we want to make our dreams a reality. because why NOT? we want to make every day exciting.
