Hike Far. Sleep Well. Keep Exploring.

I’m Deb — a Michigan-based hiker and traveler taking on 1,100+ miles of the North Country Trail across Michigan — without pitching a single tent.

​

🥾 600+ miles completed in Lower Michigan
🥾 currently on my UP adventure hiking 500+ miles
🏨 Multi-day hiking. Lodging-to-Lodging. No camping required.

Adventure doesn’t have to mean roughing it.

I’ve figured out how to turn long-distance hiking into an adventure that works with real life — combining trails, hotels, transportation, food stops and a little creative logistics to make multi-day hikes possible without carrying a tent. And I’m sharing what I learn along the way.
