About Us

Meet the team

Nice to meet you

Hello! My name is Monica Schwartz, and I currently live in the Northern California Gold Country. My two "piglets" (yes the ones in the photo) used to be with me, but alas, they left me for the rainbow bridge in 2022.

Besides being the driving force behind Life Out Of Bounds, I am also a photographer, artist, writer, chef, forest therapy guide, and dabble a bit in design. I am also a world explorer, time traveler and aspiring teleporter. If I were turning eleven next week, my choice of school would be Hogwarts!

Born and raised in Italy, I moved to Hawai'i in 2002, where I lived for eleven years, until I came down with island fever. That is when I moved to California in order to have more territory to explore in my Mini.
Hawai'i remains the home of my heart.

Thank you for visiting

May you be happy, may you be blessed, may you prosper in all things.

Monica
