About Mel

Hello! I’m Mel. I moved out west and fell for the Pacific Northwest, and these days that means van life, backcountry skiing, climbing, cooking out of a tiny kitchen on wheels, and exploring BC and Alberta.

I started with zero outdoor experience and a lot of fear. That’s how Go Her Own Way started: documenting what I learn so you can skip some of my mistakes.

This blog is for anyone curious about the outdoors, especially if you’re starting from nothing.

Happy Exploring! 🙂
