wandering matt

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. Much of my inspiration comes from nature. My early love for the ocean, found on the South Shore of Massachusetts, has transitioned into a deep passion for the mountains here in New Hampshire, and I wanted to share that with my first book. 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!

Posted on November 17, 2021March 31, 2025

Ok it’s time. Time to finish this thing. Awhile back I finished the rough draft of my first book, which chronicled my efforts to tackle all of the 4000 footers in New Hampshire before I turned 40. It’s taken forever for me to get back to it and do the final edit. Life interrupting me…

I Am a Terrible Mother

Posted on November 15, 2021April 2, 2025

Ever since my wife went back to work full-time, I’ve had to step in and take on some of the more “traditional” mothering duties, and let me tell you, women might be able to do anything a man can do, but I certainly can’t do everything a woman can. Not well at least. I am…
