The Adventure of Becoming

Stories of Grit, Resilience & Taking the Road Less Traveled

Every adventure starts with an idea.

Maybe it’s a trail you’ve always wanted to hike, a first backpacking trip, a solo adventure, or an outdoor dream that feels wildly out of reach. There’s the excitement, the nerves, the uncertainty—and the moment you decide to take that very first step.

But adventure isn’t just about where you go or what you do—it’s about who you become along the way.

Join Christine Reed, author of Alone in Wonderland and host of the Outdoorsy Women + Book Pod podcast; Tami Asars, one of the first 100 women to complete the Triple Crown of hiking, author of six hiking guidebooks and her memoir Long Lost ; and Jessica DeAngelo, TEDx speaker, author of The Wild Advantage, and creator of the Hike to Become Challenge, for an evening of stories about choosing a life of adventure—and discovering where it can take you.
