Sometimes life doesn't go according to plan. Sometimes you think you are going to cross the No. 1 item off your bucket list, and it just doesn't work out.

Force of Nature and Our Responsibility

When is it OK to bail on a hike, admit defeat, turn around and go home? Just because you are not feeling it one day, does not make you a looser.

Hi! I'm glad you found your way to Right Kind Of Lost. I'm Mara, and I love adventure travel. I also love sharing my travels with everyone. National parks, national forests, and other public lands are my favorite places to renew myself. I am in love with the wilderness. Hiking, camping, backpacking, kayaking, and taking on new challenges are some of my favorite things in life.
