About

Hi! I’m Tori Brenneison, a software developer/art historian from Cleveland, OH, USA. When I’m not in front of my computer, I love getting outside to hike, camp, kayak, overlanding, and enjoying the outdoors.

My love of getting outside started when my mom forced eight-year-old Tori to join the Girl Scouts back in 1995. Twenty-five years later, I’m an outdoor enthusiast, Cub Scout leader, Jeep Girl, and certified Cool Mom (TM). I started this blog to share my tips & tricks for finding cool hiking and camping spots, getting kids outside, and enjoying the outdoors on a budget.
