Backpacking For Beginners
All the excitement of adventure in the wilderness is what you would call backpacking. It is a cross between hiking and camping. From waking up to a sunrise to watching the sun set. Wandering the forest paths or making your own. Falling asleep under the stars and fishing in babbling brook or river, being one with nature.

Female Solo Backpacking – What To Pack (For Beginners)
I was at a bit of a loss when I started packing for my first solo backpacking trip.

My life has been completely enriched by my hiking and traveling experiences. Getting outdoors has, quite literally,…

Words are beautiful. Words have power. Words will…

Is this the worst picture on the internet?
Hello, fellow Nomads!
First of all, let me sincerely apologize for the misleading title. Of COURSE this isn’t the worst picture on the internet. (In fact, when I try to conjure up an image of what the worst picture on the internet must look like, my brain immediately goes into self-protect mode and closes the curtain on said unformed image). This picture is beautiful! Right? Those two intrepid…
