I grew up hiking and skiing the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We went swimming and boogie boarding at the beach, tubing and canoeing down the Saco River – these were all normal activities we did on vacations and weekends. For as long as I can remember, the great outdoors has been my playground, and where I enjoy spending a lot of my time.
Getting outside and being active feels natural to me, it’s what I’ve been doing my entire life. Sure, as a kid I didn’t always enjoy it. I admit there were times when my dad had to carry me on his shoulders up the entire mountain because I was too little and too tired to hike it myself, or I complained about my ski boots being uncomfortable or it being too cold. However, as I’ve grown older, the variety of outdoor activities my parents introduced to me as a kid have become near and dear to my heart. They have become my way of life, an outlet for me to escape and to exercise and energize my mind, body and soul.
Being a social butterfly and a huge proponent of social media, I am always excited to find new networks that help connect me with other like-minded people. In February, I was excited to join the Trail Team with Gociety, a social network designed to connect you with active people outside.
Gociety is a great way to create or find outdoor activities and plans in your area with the ability to connect with new people, people you don’t know, but who you want to know. Simply stated, it’s an easy way to tell people about your upcoming outdoor plans and adventures and see if they want to join you. The social network helps bring people together to create memorable experiences outdoors.
The great thing about the community is you don’t have to be a professional or an advanced athlete, you just simply need to the love the outdoors and have the desire to connect with new people, be active outside and motivate others by sharing your experiences. Whether you love hiking, skiing, rock climbing or running, it’s a place to connect with and meet other people just like you.
The Gociety community is filled with people from all over the world who love the outdoors, adventure, being active, living a healthy lifestyle and sharing positive social outdoor experiences. You can also check out Gociety on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
