Free Range Human

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread.  Places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.”

John Muir really knew is stuff.  Hello, my name is Natalie, and I am addicted to the trail.  I started my healthy living journey several years ago, but it all finally clicked with me when I discovered backpacking.  Backpacking has helped me truly understand what health means, and it has provide me with a true passion and focus in my life.  It’s a deep and abiding love that I hope can inspire others to find their true passion and healthy balance.

Free Range Human is a place for me to share my perspective on healthy living through my experiences on and off the trail.  Backpacking is a passion that embodies healthy living because if feeds the body, soul, and mind.  It is has become a tiny bit of an obsession for me as it causes me to spend far too many hours dreaming about the next big hike!  Because backpacking has become so important to me, I naturally wanted to share my love for it with others and inspire people to get out and explore some of the places I love so much.  Thus, Free Range Human was born.  On the blog, you can learn all about my travesl in Glacier National Park.  Perhaps you’re curious about the fuel your body needs to complete big hikes.  It’s all there!

Of course, I can’t be on the trail all the time, so you can also explore how I strike a healthy living balance in my everyday life through eating smart and exercise with a dose of my furbaby, Max, thrown in just to keep things interesting.  Whatever your interests, I’d love for you to stop by and see me as I continue to live life outside the box!
