About

This is a personal blog of Jess Mink and Matthew Brewer.
This is the blog branch of our website www.smalladventures.net.

We realized a while back that we were telling people the same things over and over again. Stories about our hikes, and things we'd learned about how to backpack in particular. Our goal was largely to inspire people to get out there and just do it! The idea that life is a series of small adventures, that experimentation in life can be very full-filling and surprising and that there is just so much out there to explore!

Jess and I are both very passionate about backpacking and the wilderness - so the bulk of our posts have ended up being on those topics. This was not the original intent though, and hopefully a broader selection of topics will begin to pop back up here.
