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!

Looking for Frank on Mount Chocorua

I figured I’d take advantage of my grounded vessel to reflect on some of my most recent climbs. Chocorua seemed like a good place to start.

New Looks at Old Faces: Mount Moosilauke

I’ve been climbing the 4000-footers again, partly out of motivation from the book, and partly because of some friends who are interested in pursuing bigger mountains.

We thought we knew what we were doing. We thought, hey, this will be a great bonding experience for the family, and the kids will someday thank us for taking them.

Have you heard the words of youth,
or merely waited them out
to tell the story
you’ve been trained to tell?
