Camping Gear Reviews & Hiking Gift Guides

As a physical therapist and an avid hiker, I know how important it is to have the right camping gear for your adventures.

That’s why I love writing camping gear reviews, to help you find the best equipment for your next adventure.

I’ve tried and tested a ton of gear over the years, and trust me, not all of it is created equal. From mattresses that deflate after 2 hours to RV rentals that broke down on the way to Coachella.

But fear not, my friends. I’m here to guide you through the vast world of camping gear and point you in the direction of the best of the best.

And let’s not forget about sustainability. As someone who values the importance of preserving our planet, I make sure to include eco-friendly options in my reviews. So not only will you be well-equipped for your adventures, but you can feel good about the impact you’re making on the environment too.

about-image

We obsess about food and travel in Outdoor Europe to learn more about people.

The wonder, connection and taste experience of hut-to-hut hiking in the Italian Dolomites inspired me to share it with the world!

We travel in the Outdoors to:

  • Savor regional food, wine & hot cocoa.
  • Walk lightly on this planet & view incredible scenery.
  • Connect with family, locals and to ourselves.

On this blog and my podcast "Craving Adventure", you'll find practical tips to plan experiences of a lifetime & stories of people connecting to what really counts by getting off the beaten path.

Any questions?
