There is little I love more than spending time outdoors. Whether sitting still and enjoying the sounds of nature or running trails for hours, I am always happiest in the wild. Adventure Sneaker is my blog dedicated to sneaking outdoor adventure into everyday life. From trails to travel, gear reviews to road trip routes, local adventures to grand destinations... my goal is to help you get out there and explore your outdoor spaces and venture out into parts unknown. In addition to my ramblings here, I am also a freelance writer for irunfar.com and have written travel blogs for escapecampervans.com.
