Weekend Wandering on the East Coast & Beyond

Guides and Travel Inspiration for all Your Outdoor Adventures

meet EM

That’s me, Em (aka Emily) and welcome to Em Explores! Hopefully this blog and my love for the outdoors inspires you to get outside and explore, wherever you are, no matter your experience level!

I grew up camping with my family and playing in the woods with my two brothers every chance I got. After graduating from college (I’m a civil engineer at my full-time job), I leapt back into the outdoors with both feet and haven’t looked back!

I’m a lover of the mountains and the beach and I’ve always said that if I were to win the lottery, I’d have to have two houses. Depending on the season, you can find me camping, hiking, backpacking, skiing, boating, crabbing, hunting, and relaxing on the beach. I’ll probably have my camera along too, thanks to my love of photography.


See what I’m up to!
