Hi, I'm Anna, welcome to my site! On here you'll find travel guides to some of my favorite places where I've lived and explored including Alaska, Banff and New Zealand. While I love being outdoors, as an environmental health researcher I've learned how the chemicals used in a lot of weatherized outdoors gear are harmful to human and ecological health. On this site you'll also find my list of outdoors gear that is free from these toxic chemicals - a list that I'm always updating. Have fun exploring!
