Hi! I’m Katy!

My family—my husband, our 1-year-old, and 4-year-old—and I live in the beautiful state of Maine, where we embrace the outdoors as a way of life. I’m passionate about getting outside, whether it’s a weekend camping trip, a cross-country skiing excursion, or hiking local trails. Outdoor parenting is key to how we raise our kids, and we love sharing these experiences together, no matter how big or small.

As we adventure through the state, I love pairing support for local food and businesses with our trips. I am rarely caught without my camera and have a passion for photography. I am always aiming to capture the moments and landscapes that define our outdoor experiences.

Venture is where I share my love for outdoor exploration, from practical tips and family-friendly outings to epic backcountry adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or just starting out, I hope to inspire you to get outside and make the most of every adventure.
