The Detour Effect

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2023

The Detour Effect is an adventure travel blog about hiking around the world and designing alternative lifestyles that are conducive to spending as much time adventuring as possible. Whether that means living in your car and boondocking near the national parks, becoming a digital nomad and hopping from place to place via short term rentals, or doing work exchanges for free housing at parks, hostels, or ski resorts, I have lived it all. I believe in changing up your routines, and your entire life, as often as necessary in pursuit of what’s constant: a passion for hiking and travel, an unquenchable curiosity, and a refusal to grow stagnant.
