Goods, thoughts, & gatherings for a life full of everyday adventure.
Here to help you thrive in attainable, meaningful ways.
After decades of experience in art, outdoor adventure, teaching, and community-building, The Modest Adventure Co. was born.
Through thoughtfully-designed goods, digital resources, and local gatherings, I want to support you - no matter who you are - in finding a renewed sense of personal growth, community connection, and modest-but-fulfilling adventure.
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
Enjoying modest adventures.
You don’t have to travel far, spend a lot of money, or photograph yourself in an infinity pool in Bali and post it online to have a good time.
(You also don’t have to buy Modest Adventure Co. merch to have a good time - but it does help support an independent artist/educator AND Vermont’s beautiful state parks, so I really, REALLY appreciate it.)
Connecting with our people & with nature.
The Modest Adventure Co. is based in Vermont, and the independent-but-community-minded spirit of Vermont is central to the MACo mission. But no matter where you are, I hope you’ll use the spirit of connection to find (or build) YOUR community of fellow modest adventurers. (I’ve found that hiking & shopping local while wearing cool tshirts helps.)
Growing in a way that works for you.
Personal growth isn’t about magnificent New-Year’s-Resolution level transformations. (How often do those stick, anyway?) Small, sustainable ways of growing can be life-changing, too. Don’t believe me? Try hiking your local woods every weekend for a month, or learning how to make blind embossings of plants. It doesn’t take much.
Making meaning in small, authentic ways.
At the end of the day, what really contributes to a fulfilling life?
You probably won’t remember that one time you got 500 likes on an Instagram post…but you WILL remember that perfect, crisp October day spent hiking and camping with the people (and puppers) that you love most. Find more of those moments where you can just…be.
