Sarah Williams 

Over the past decade, I’ve transformed my life from corporate burnout to global adventurer, storyteller, and podcast host. Now, I want to share even more of my journey — not just the hikes and challenges, but also the personal goals, the behind-the-scenes dreams, and the big ideas I’m putting into motion.

​

This decade, I’ll be putting my goals out there — for you to see, follow, and even be inspired by. Some are massive multi-month expeditions, others are quick, meaningful treks. A few are personal milestones I’ve quietly held onto for years. But every one of them is part of a larger mission: to live boldly, inspire courage, and show what's possible when you pursue your dreams at any age.

​

Let’s see where the next 10 years can take us.

What’s your next big adventure?

Your journey is yours alone—don’t compare it to anyone else’s. Do what excites you, challenges you, and makes you feel alive. Whether it’s a hike, a personal goal, or something completely different, now is the time to dream big and start taking steps toward it.

​

Write down your goals, share them with those who inspire you, and remember: your story is unique and powerful. This isn’t just about my adventures—it’s about encouraging all of us to live boldly, follow our own path, and embrace what lights us up.

So, what will the next 10 years look like for you?
