Hello! I’m Britt…

My name is Britt, and I am a 35-year-old freelance writer, social media marketer and outdoor travel lover based in Ontario, Canada. This blog is focused on three specific topics that are incredibly important in my life: OUTDOOR TRAVEL, ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE and PAGANISM.

If you are looking for the latest camping gear, tattoo care tips or an inside look at the Pagan lifestyle and my unique journey, you’ve come to the right place!
