Hi friends! Someone asked me the other day what our next adventure was going to be, and it stopped me in my tracks. Even now; after quitting our corporate jobs, selling almost everything we owned, moving and living in Costa Rica, and most recently hiking the Appalachian Trail; it still knocks me off guard to think that people believe me to be adventurous.

When we moved to Costa Rica, it was, indeed

Omg this was so good. Non-fiction that reads like fiction? Yes,please! I felt some similarities as my husband and I sold everything we owned in 2013 and moved abroad to Costa Rica - which seems no where near as adventurous (or scary) as sailing and l ...more

Abby is sometimes too “fluffy romance” for me - but this one had more meat to it. Didn’t know how the ending would resolve - but she surprised me (pleasantly - with tears!)!

Quotes by Jen Beck Seymour (?)

“This is what we did: * Week 1: 8 miles a day, with a zero day at the end of this week. * Week 2: 10 miles a day, with a zero day at the end of this week. * Weeks 3 and 4: 12 miles a day, with a zero day at the end of this week. * Week 5 and on: 14 or more miles a day, with a zero day once a week. * (after we got up to 18-20 miles a day, we started taking more neros than zeros.) We stayed at 12 miles a day for two weeks because we listened to our bodies”
― Jen Beck Seymour, Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail

“Porcupines will frequent shelters as they like to gnaw on the salt-encrusted edge of the platform floor – exactly where hikers tend to sit and congregate with their salty legs hanging over the edge.”
