I’m not a movie critic, nor do I aim to do movie reviews on this site, but I saw a movie the other day, on the plane of all places, that I thought was worth noting. Ironically, its title aligns with the name of the mountains that I’ve come to love so much. The White…
Author: Matt Larson
With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work.

If you’d like to connect or have any inquiries, you can reach out to me at [email protected]. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook at wanderingmatt8. Happy reading!

that can answer the question for every banker,
and every unicorn,
where the good life
is waiting to be found.
Rounding Out the Wapack Range Summits
One of my recent side quests has been to climb all of the major summits in the Wapack Range—a stretch of earth popping up over the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Running North, it begins at Mount Watatic in Massachusetts and ends at North Pack Monadnock in Greenfield, New Hampshire. Many thru-hike the Wapack…
A Mountain With Meaning: Montserrat
A couple weeks ago we were lucky enough to take a family trip to Spain. Well, Barcelona to be precise, but during our stay we took a couple of side quests. One was a train trip to the town of Figueres, to see the Dali museum and where the eccentric artist came from. The other…
