We publish monthly walking guides for destinations that we’ve personally visited or researched. These guides are researched and written BY HUMANS who care about YOU. Our goal with this blog is to gather the best hiking trails and tour operators for each destination so you can easily make informed decisions. No need to read reviews of every trail in your trail app or sort through multiple blog posts, we’ve already done that research for you. These guides are often linked to stories on our personal blog so you get to “walk in our shoes.”
