We are a platform to connect veterans, service members, and dependents who share a love for the outdoors. Many of us have felt a little lost in our service and transition out of the military; lacking community & direction. Our goal is to create a community of individuals with similar experiences, plan trips around the world, attend veteran & military-related events, get outside and dream, & share resources concerning benefits and opportunities. We share gear recommendations, encourage healing outdoors, and plan free or low-cost national & international trips!
As we have expanded, we were made aware of the interest for those in branches of service from other countries to participate. Because of this, we created a sister group: The Roaming Vet Global. This group is open to any branch from anywhere in the world. This offers an exclusive community for U.S. services and another group for anyone! You can join either group below:
Brianna was aspiring to become a Commissioned Officer & Pilot; Pursuing her private pilot's license, completing her bachelor's degree, & working as an Executive Assistant for higher enlisted & officer leaders. However, after six years in the Air Force, Brianna was medically separated due to injuries sustained in training & on deployment that resulted in two hip surgeries & disqualification from commissioning. While feeling lost in her transition to the civilian world, Brianna began pursuing outdoor hobbies & sharing about her struggles to find passion & purpose on social media. What was supposed to be an Outdoor Adventure + Travel TikTok account, turned into a connection with veterans and service members through a shared love for the outdoors, military experiences, & transitioning to civilian life. She recognized a need in the community for connection, outdoor adventure, & resources. Because of this, she created
The Roaming Vet.
