I wasn’t really into doing things by myself back then…. But I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I loved it.

Marianne Borowski, Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail

I tried to put together the things that I found useful. I like the map, I like to know that there’s a town coming up.. and that there’s ice cream in that town!

It doesn’t take much to be happy - you just have to know what it is that you want.

Don’t get the impression I’m a good nordic skier, I’m just good at long, arduous stubbornness!

Whether you’re into field dressing or forest bathing, you need to protect your clients - and your business!

Karrie Thomas, Northern Forest Canoe Trail

It was really never intended to be a ‘thru-paddle’… the founders imagined a series of destinations that would allow people to discover the northeast over time.

Anne Parmenter, Coach, Climbing Guide and Everest Mountaineer

Saying ‘yes’ to things that I know are going to make me really uncomfortable… I think it keeps you ticking.

Lisa Holcomb, Wander the Whites

The guides are so diverse here, from going on an Appalachian Mountain Club tour to ice climbing, and all of the other guides in between. I like falling in between, at that moderate stage.

Traci Bisson, Golden Dog Adventure Company

We’ll carry extra water, we’ll carry snacks, so you don’t need to. It’s really a no-brainer, and that’s what people need, because they’re so busy in their lives. They just want to go, have fun and not have to think about it.

The dollars that you pay at a local outfitter are directly going back to their family, their home, their schools, local shops… and that’s really important.

I think that I have a very specific client, and that client is somebody who doesn’t care about napkin colors, for example. They basically just care about the moments that are happening, and not making their wedding feel like a television production.

Serena Ryan, Summits in Solidarity

How is my fear of not knowing what to say, or my guilt or my despair, and depression about these tough issues - how is that serving the BIPOC community? It's not, that's actually all about me.
