I have a thing for mountains, but time doesn’t always allow for that. When it doesn’t, I still try to get out almost every day on a trail. It keeps my priorities straight and my mind free of stress. Getting outside—hearing birds, seeing trees—opens me up. My creativity expands and my body feels lighter. Plus, my dog loves it, so there’s that.

Most of the areas I’m trying to “discover” right now are in southern New Hampshire. If you just put “hiking trails near me” into Google Maps, it’s amazing how many places you’ll find you never knew about.
