Let's Connect

The Roaming Vet's Chief Adventure Officer, Bri. After medically separating from the Air Force, Bri Walston found healing, purpose, and connection through the outdoors. She created The Roaming Vet to help veterans, service members, and military families rediscover community through travel, adventure, and shared experiences in nature. What began as her own search for belonging has grown into a global community rooted in connection, support, and the belief that life after service can still be full of purpose.

Meet our Chief
Adventure Officer 

After serving six years in the Air Force, Bri was medically separated from the military, which completely shifted the path she had planned for her life. Like a lot of veterans, she suddenly found herself feeling lost, disconnected, and without the sense of purpose and community that the military had given her.

In a nutshell, WE HEAL IN THE OUTDOORS AND IN COMMUNITY

Bri, the founder of The Roaming Vet, didn’t start this community as a business idea. She started it because she needed it herself.

She turned to the outdoors and travel as a way to heal and reconnect with herself. While sharing her journey online, she realized something important: she wasn’t the only one feeling this way. There were thousands of other veterans and service members craving connection, adventure, and a community that truly understood their experiences.

So she created The Roaming Vet- a space where veterans, service members, and their families can find each other, explore the outdoors, and build meaningful connections around shared experiences.

At its core, The Roaming Vet exists to help people rediscover purpose, find community again, and realize they’re not alone- on or off the road.

BRIANNA
WE BELIEVE

Travel is more than a

IT'S A ROAD THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE

It’s a return of sorts. To self, to stillness, to something steady beneath it all.
After service, things don’t always fall neatly into place. Purpose feels distant. Connection harder to come by. The pace of it all unfamiliar.
So we go. Into the mountains, across open land, bodies of water, toward something honest. And along the way, we find others doing the same.

“Brianna was amazing. Her energy and overall care for us was special. She is an incredible human and I can’t wait to do another trip with her. The Trova trip was fantastic! Fernando and Walter were incredibly intelligent and fun to be around. They felt like part of the group and made us feel welcome in their home country.”
