Allie 'Deyò Allie' D'Andrea

Anbasadè sawyer

Allie te fèt nan Pittsburgh, Pennsilvani e li te trase nan deyò yo kòm yon jèn ti fi. Li te grandi monte cheval, kan ak lapèch ak fanmi li, ak jwe espò. Pandan ane kolèj li yo nan Inivèsite Pittsburgh li te dekouvri lachas nan mennaj li Lè sa a, mari, kounye a mari, Nick. Li te kòmanse dokimante ak pataje avantur deyò li sou medya sosyal nan 2015 nan "Deyò Allie" kòm yon fason yo konekte ak tankou jan lide; moun ki lachas pou manje yo, pran swen pwofondman pou bèt sovaj, konsèvasyon peyi piblik, epi jwi pataje yon frèt alantou yon kan dife. Ale-a bwason se yon margarita piki nan grate ak plezi koupab li manje bonbon anvan kwit manje pat. Kòm yon jenn ti kabrit li ta gen yon frijidè plen ak bonbon pat ak kounye a li ka fyè di, li fè sa.
