Create (and Celebrate) the 'Aha!' Moments
Alice Bean Andrenyak, Alice's Awesome Adventures
If I can have two ‘aha!’ moments from the people that I’ve had out that day, that fuels me for the next day.
Fuel Your Fun
Hillary Pride, Eats with Pride
I usually try to do some greens [in my smoothie] because I go through phases with salads… I’m not like, ‘I can’t wait to go home and eat kale’ in January. I don’t usually feel that way.
Pack a Pencil and Have a 'Plan B' (and Other Smart Travel Strategies)
Tiff Soukup, VagabondWay
If we had ever let the fear of what could happen stop us, then we would have missed out on a lot of things.
If You Love It, Someone Else Will Too
Jana Olenio, SUP Yo Adventures
That was the point at which all of my passions came together, my travel experience and my passion for yoga and nature… and I was so thrilled, because I was sharing what I loved and was passionate about with other people.
Become the Person You're Interested in Being
Jackie Lastinger, The Girls Trip Adventure Co.
I’m just trying to inspire other women to get out there with other women and not be scared, and just get out of their comfort zones. And go do this cool shit you know you can do.
Blaze Your Own Trail to Self-Love
Sydney Williams, Hiking My Feelings
I love this container that I’ve created. It’s catchy, it feels like a cool way to talk about mental health, without talking about mental health and scaring people.
Where There's a Will, There's a (Vagabond) Way
Tiffany Soukup, Vagabond Way
I went to work at 10, got out at 6, came home, packed a suitcase. And a 8 o’clock that night, we started driving west…I lived on the floor next to a washer and dryer all summer and it was the best time of my life.
Blaze the Path (or Trail!) That Serves You
Victoria Amico, Plus Sized Outdoors
My entire world just cracked open. And it made me realize that I am so much more capable of things than I realized.
If the Sign Looks Interesting, Take the Exit
Ranger Emma Mitchell of the Lowell National Historical Park
I started volunteering at Boston National Historical Park, and gave myself a little bit of what it was like to work in an urban setting….and I actually didn’t hate sitting in a historic spot that was mostly about the history of people, rather than rocks and animals.
Be Kind To Your Mind
Tri State Hikers Executive Board
We all see the need for getting more people outdoors, especially the kids… That’s been our focus recently, to get more young people and kids outside, because at the end of the day, that’s our future, then are the future. And now is the time to nurture that love for nature.
Heat Things Up with a DIY Adventure
Paula, Trish & Jen Visit Cedar Grove Sauna
“WHOOOOOOAAOO!” “HOLY SH*T” “WOW” “WOW” “This is amazing!”
Make (and Claim) Space for Yourself
Ava Baptiste, TriState Hikers
Sometimes when someone comes for a hike, they just want to get something off their chest, or they just want to be free to talk. I think it’s so much easier to talk to a stranger than people you know… and sometimes that’s what people need, just a listening ear.
