It feels good to feel good.
An outdoor brand built from seven years guiding hikers and snowshoers through the Sierra — now becoming something you can wear, somewhere you can go, and a feeling you can step into.
Shop the hat
Venturing Out was never just a hiking business.
I started it in Truckee in 2017. No big plan. Just a feeling I wanted to share. Next thing I knew I was taking people into the wilderness almost every day — cooking meals in mason jars, hiking through whiteout snowshoe days, watching strangers turn into friends by sunset.
Then I moved across the world to Sydney, and the version I knew was gone. That part was harder than I expected.
But Venturing Out was never about the hikes. It was about how I felt when I was doing them. Alive. Confident. Connected. Strong. Free.
So I'm building it again. Same feeling, new form.
The Signature Hat
The hat that started the next chapter.
The first piece. Venturing Out on the front. The reminder on the back. A hat for trail days, beach days, and the in-between days when you just want to feel like yourself.
Apparel collection — coming soon.
The trips are coming back.
Small-group expeditions for women who want to wake up somewhere beautiful and let someone else handle the rest. Long trail days. Long tables. Good food. New friends. The thing I built Venturing Out for in the first place — just in a few new places this time.
- Considered, intimate stays
- All meals — local, seasonal, generous
- Expert local guides and curated itineraries
- Groups of 8 to 12 women
- Flights not included
