I’m an outdoor enthusiast, van lifer, and mom, and in 2014, I started Bearfoot Theory to help more people get outside.

The outdoors has had such a profound impact on my life, and it’s my hope that Bearfoot Theory becomes a helpful and welcoming resource for you, whether you’re planning an epic hike, a National Park road trip, or dreaming about van life. Thanks for being part of this amazing community—I can’t wait to share the journey with you.
