Lindsey Lapointe, Seacoast Hikes

Today I’m thrilled to be talking to Lindsey Lapointe, aka The Freelance Adventurer, and the brilliance behind the Seacoast Hikes Instagram page. 

The struggle can be oh-so-real when you’re trying to get little kids outside with you (and simultaneously trying to salvage some sliver of fun for yourself). Even the most experienced outdoorswoman can find herself struggling on a new-to-her trail when it’s buggier or harder or wetter or longer than expected, and her little wing-people start coming off the rails.

Despite years of experience leading older kids on outdoor trips, Lindsey hit this wall of frustration herself when she had her second child and tried to keep up her hiking habit with two kids < 3. Not only did Lindsey manage to bust through that wall, but she’s taking us all with her with Seacoast Hikes and Nature Walks, Volume 1 (and hopefully soon Volume 2!) which I’m excited to be talking about with her today.

Make sure to grab yourself a copy of Seacoast Hikes and Nature Walks (and start working on your patch now!)

You'll also want to checkout Lindsey's blog and follow her on the socials, @SeacoastHikes and @FreelanceAdventurer, for helpful videos of recommended hikes and tons of tips and inspiration. Whether you’re hitting the woods with your kids, your friends, or just your dog, you’ll find something to learn or love.
