Hello!
Welcome to “Trekking Beyond”! We believe that every trail leads to a new adventure, and every adventure is meant for everyone. Whether you are a seasoned trekker or just starting to explore the wonders of nature, we would like for this blog to be your gateway to the joys, challenges, and healing power of the great outdoors. Here at Trekking Beyond, we encourage you to find Your Path, Your Adventure.
My name is Liz. I’m proud to have just turned 52, and I welcome each new year with gratitude and excitement. I’ve been happily married to my soulmate for 22 years. I am also a proud mom to two amazing humans who are 19 and 21, and a delightful two-year-old black Labrador named Lucy. I love my family, being outside, and reading a good book. In 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although my journey with cancer was relatively short, it had a profound impact on my life. Physically, it required a double mastectomy without reconstruction, 12 weeks of chemotherapy, and a prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy. Mentally, it became a powerful reminder to live life to the fullest and make the most of each day.
I’ve always loved the outdoors, but since my cancer diagnosis, I have discovered a whole new level of strength and healing in nature. The simple act of walking through the woods or sitting by a quiet lake can bring me peace and clarity when I need it most. The fresh air, the chirping birds… it is like a magic potion that instantly calms my mind and soothes my soul. The next time you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, take a little detour outside. Go for a short walk and see how it can transform your day.
*Trekking Beyond* was born out of my passion for the outdoors and my desire to inspire others to find joy in nature, no matter where they are in their journey. We hope to bring you a variety of content designed to inspire and empower adventurers of all abilities. From practical travel guides and gear reviews to trail reports and personal stories, each post will be crafted to help you find joy in nature, embrace life’s adventures, and connect with those you love.
In addition to the blog, we’re excited to be planning a selection of nature-themed t-shirts and stickers. Each design will be inspired and based on the landscapes that we love and photos that we have taken. They will be perfect for fellow nature lovers who want to carry a piece of the wild with them wherever they go.
Our mission at *Trekking Beyond* is to inspire and empower people of all abilities to explore the great outdoors, find joy in nature, and embrace life’s adventures, no matter where they are in their journey. Nature's beauty should be accessible to everyone, and we want to be here to support you in making that a reality. We’d love for you to join the *Trekking Beyond* community!
