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?
