Mariana had the full experience of life as a military brat. Born in California and living on the shores of Okinawa as well as the east coast of Virginia and South Carolina, she made the most of every duty station.

We asked what her favorite place to live was and she did not hesitate- “MCRD Parris Island- While stationed there I really began to understand what the Marine Corps was all about.  It was eye-opening, understanding the training and dedication of the Marines.  It made me have more respect for my dad and the Corps, and what they do."

Military kids are unique and we love to celebrate them here at Nomadés- we would love for you to tell us about your military kid and share their story here on Story Blog. Email us at shop@nomadescollection.com.
