We Can Help You Plan The Perfect Trip

Gretchen Stuppy Carlson (Chasing Adventure)

I’m a travel writer, photographer, and lifelong adventurer with nearly two decades of experience in outdoor education. I’ve spent much of my life exploring outside, first aboard sail training vessels and now traveling the world with my husband and three kids.

Chasing ADVNTR is where I share the places we explore, the stories that stay with me, and the practical details I’ve learned along the way so you can create adventures of your own.



Stories, Places & Ideas for a Life of Adventure

Join me beyond the travel guides. The Chasing ADVNTR newsletter is where I share stories from the road, places I can’t stop thinking about, photography, and thoughts about travel, adventure, and building a life with more of both.
