Brittany is a little bit backpack.
Brittany, Cheri, and Bailey have been traveling together for a lifetime.
When the kids were young, we camped all over, mostly to save money.
Brittany went on her first hike at six weeks old. She doesn’t remember riding in a baby sling, but she does remember all the backpacking trips her dad took the family on over the years.
Hiking stuck. Today she loves nothing more than exploring the wilds with her husband, Jordan.
In fact, Brittany is more comfortable boondocking in their station wagon than she is staying at a resort. You’ll find her posts on hiking, backpacking, and all things outdoors just the ticket to get you out and about.
As an Enneagram Six Brittany knows how to plan for every situation!
Besides her work on Jaunty Everywhere, Brittany is a fiber artist.
You can find her at TextileIndie.com and on her YouTube channel Textile Indie.
