A little more about Me

April 30, 2021 | About Susy

I’m a simple woman who loves the outdoors and is passionate about discovering the magic this world has to offer. I’m the creator and organizer of "NJ Walk n' Talk", always striving to find balance between responsibility, fun and life. I’m a happy, blessed person, mother of two beautiful children, an immigrant and a Christian inspired by the beauty of creation. Life isn’t always easy, but it’s been an inspiring and rewarding journey filled with challenges, failures and impossible situations, all of which have shaped me into who I am today.

I go for walks, to lose my mind and find my soul” - John Muir

In 2019, I started a group called "Exit 9 Walk and Talk", with the goal of meeting like-minded people who share a love for the world around us. Through this group, I’ve met amazing individuals and my weekends have since been filled with adventure, laughter and great conversations. I never imagined that when I started the group in March 2019, it would bring so much joy to my life and the life of others. "Exit 9 Walk and Talk", as it was known then, became a place where we could take a break from the day-to-day stresses and immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature, all while walking and talking with a group of wonderful people.

I love walking because it clears your mind, enriches the soul, takes away stress, and opens up your eyes to a whole new world” - Claudette Dudley

Today, the group is known as "NJ Walk n' Talk," as we explore New Jersey seeking a trail of beauty in every adventure. I’m not a life coach and no one in our group claims to be, but there’s something magical about our walks that leaves me feeling lighter, happier and more at peace when I return home. I’m totally fascinated by beauty and I take countless photos during our walks. Each shot captures a bit of magic, a moment frozen in time that can never be reproduced again.

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain” - Jack Kerouac

I was born and raised in Ecuador and always dreamed of traveling the world. While I’ve done pretty well so far, the desire to see even more still burns in my heart. Professionally, I’m an accountant with over 30 years of experience and yes, I’m pretty good with numbers! I feel my work provides a grounding balance in my life, allowing me to stay connected to both reality and the beauty I always seek. I also work as a real estate agent, helping others find their perfect homes while continuing to embrace the adventures life has to offer.

With Love,
Susy 🦀

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.” - Jeniffer Lee
