About Me
Hi! I’m Carly
Balancing deadlines and daydreams.
I started this blog for myself, as a way to rediscover my passion for writing. Somewhere between childhood and adult life, that love slipped away, and one day, I just stopped. Now, I’m using this space to reignite that spark and share the many things that bring me joy—whether it’s hiking, road tripping, or simply soaking in the beauty of the great outdoors. You’ll also find glimpses of everyday life sprinkled in between, because I don’t hike or travel full time—but I still find time to do what I love and want to show others that they can too.
More than just a personal journey, I want this blog to inspire others to live the life of their dreams, no matter their schedule. Growing up, my summers were filled with road trips, but hiking and camping were rare experiences. Nine years ago, I was working for a company that made backcountry maps for hiking, 4x4ing, and camping. Every day, I was surrounded by breathtaking images of epic adventures, and I longed to strap on a backpack and explore. But fear—and the constraints of daily life—held me back.
Slowly, I began to weave more adventure into my life, dedicating my free time to what truly fulfilled me. Over the years, I’ve crafted a life I love, even with the balance of a busy schedule. My hope is that this blog becomes a source of inspiration, showing that it’s possible to pursue your passions and create the life you’ve always dreamed of, even if it’s not your full-time job.
Inspiring bold journeys and epic adventures.
