Hello, I’m Linda a sometimes wanderer and explorer. This blog invites you to dream of adventure, learn about new places, and have the courage to step out and discover like never before.

I started hiking and getting out of my comfort zone after waking up one day and realizing if adventure was ever going to be a part of my life, the time was now.

Even if you think you are too old, out of shape, have too many responsibilities, whatever the reason, the point of this blog is to let you know that adventure does not have to be perfect to be awesome. The point is to start, whether it’s a walk to the mailbox, camping at a state park, or learning how to read a map and compass.

We will explore hiking, camping, some light backpacking and other fun activities. Most of our posts will center around the Midwest, with occasional trips to more exotic locales. Lots of my adventures have been less than perfect, so I’ll share lessons learned, and hopefully give you a laugh and inspiration.
