Hey, friend! I’m Madisyn, but my friends call me Mads.
I create content for those with a wandering heart who are always looking to bask in the sunshine and find the good. I value the idea of exploring often and leaving the places you find a little bit better than you found them. I want to share my constant search for the good things life has to offer while also being sure to acknowledge the not so good moments. I want to embrace the idea of change, uncertainty and the idea of just going for “it” (whatever “it” may be) even when the outcome is not totally crystal clear.
This space is my place to share travel tales, favorite things or thoughts that fill my head during a surf. Life is meant to be lived and I hope that Just Stay Stoked will remind you to make a conscious effort to search for the good while also creating and living a life you love.

I’m nowhere near having life figured out, but I’m learning how to go with the flow
