What Allie Rambles Is About
Allie Rambles is my life outdoors as a hiker and backpacker.
I’ve had to cross some major life hurdles to find out who I truly am, finally, in my 50s.
You’re story may be not so different than mine.
In my early years I was married and raised 2 children, then I got a divorce. At that time I sold my home to begin the life I’ve always wanted and that was to travel. I bought an RV and lived in it for 4 years.
Those 4 RV years were some of the most gloriously independent then some of the worst years of my life since they ended with the breakup from a toxic (I would deem narcissistic) boyfriend who took everything from me, except my drive to live life on my terms.
I found myself completely broke and homeless. And in my early 50s I found myself living with mom again and literally starting over from scratch.
Yet that’s not the end of my story or my adventures.
I’m fighting to get it all back again. But this time in New York. I found peace, work and great hiking trails here just outside the famous Adirondacks were I focus on rebuilding the life of adventure I’ve always dreamed of.
How am I creating the outdoor life I’ve always wanted?
I’m coming back from being broke and homeless stronger than ever! It’s a long way back up but slowly it’s happening. Here are some ways I’m sharing and earning so I can keep having hiking and backpacking adventures in my 50s and beyond!
- I got a job I love here in the North Country New York.
- I’ve make videos about hiking, it’s called AllieRambles on YouTube – come subscribe!
- I have a hiking t-shirt and sticker shop coming soon!
- I’m creating Hiking Guides that, at this moment, you can access for free. Check out my New York Hiking Guides.

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate each reader. Happy Trails!
