40-something, seeking adventure and wellness outdoors for everyone. Join me on my journey.
Trying to put into words who you are is more difficult than it sounds…but here goes:
I’m a 40-something single woman who is still finding her place in the world. I’m deaf (something I used to do everything to hide in fear it’d be used against me) and have issues with my balance. I lip read to follow conversations and life is much simpler when I don’t have my hearing aids in. I find group conversations and busy, noisy indoor environments draining given the intense concentration needed to follow what’s going on. I love of dancing and attempting to play tennis.
I am building a life for myself where adventure near and far is at the heart of everything I do. I’m a happier person when I’m found walking in fields or climbing hills, ambling through the streets of towns and cities, experiencing different cultures and getting new dance steps wrong.
My goal is to share my passion for adventure. Adventure as an attitude. A desire to try something new and to pursue what makes you a better person. To not avoid taking risks in case you fail, but to get out in the world and embrace it (knowing that you can go back home afterwards).
This blog (and my insta @adventurebeginstoday) is about my adventures – past, present and future. I’ll be sharing my journey and I hope you’ll join me along the way.
EXPLORE. EXPERIENCE. ENJOY.
