Sarah Olsen
Sarah Olsen was born in Colorado and raised in Idaho with a deep passion for the outdoors. She is a professional photographer and nature enthusiast. She has spent the last few years overlanding all around the West in a camper van with her husband, photographing her client’s adventures.
When she’s not behind a camera she can be found soaking in natural hot springs, on a hiking trail, backpacking deep in the forest, or white water rafting. She feels most at home in the wild, surrounded by mountainous, rugged landscapes. Sarah works behind the scenes for Legends Overlanding as an editor, web designer, and business administrator.
