Seepersaud spends most of her time outdoors and enjoys hiking, fishing, and snowboarding in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, where she was raised. If she’s not traveling on foot, she’s in the car on her way to another state, excited to see new faces and places. So far, Seepersaud has been to sixteen states and hopes to visit the remaining thirty-four, as well as some countries and islands, which will ultimately benefit her future career and give her lots to write about.
