Meet: Shawna Miller, Creator of ExploringShawna.com!

Introduce yourself and tell us about ExploringShawna.com:

My name is Shawna Miller. I am the CEO and owner of Exploring Shawna, a travel & lifestyle blog and swimwear boutique. 
​ExploringShawna.com is a place I created to motivate others to live a healthy life filled with adventure and fitness. It also offers a place to purchase quality swimwear handpicked by me. ​

​What inspired you to combine your interests in Travel & Fitness?

Travel has always been something I’ve been interested in and Fitness is really just a part of who I am. I enjoy going out and exploring places I’ve never been to before, especially with my kids.

I figured it would be great to write about these moments in a blog. That’s when I started ExploringShawna.com. A couple of years ago I started a very intense health and fitness journey. Fitness has become part of my life and I always get asked about my fitness journey. It seemed only natural that I incorporate that as part of my brand. I just introduced monthly fitness challenges that anyone can follow no matter your fitness level or experience.
​
What advice do you have for females that want to start a blog?
My advice would be to find something that you are passionate about and make that the theme of your blog. When you're passionate about a topic it’s easier to research it, live it and share it with others.

What would you say are the most popular travel destinations for female entrepreneurs?
Within the United States I would say California is a hot spot for women travelers. I’ve seen a trend of women exploring the west coast's hip and eclectic vibe. It’s a fun place to explore and there’s so much opportunity for networking there. Outside of the United States would have to be Dubai. Dubai has gotten so popular in the recent years and women are realizing that it’s actually not that expensive to travel there. Some women are even traveling there on solo trips.

What is next for you in 2016?
Expect to see more intriguing content, partnerships and amazing swimwear. 2016 is about sharing how important exploration and fitness are. .
