LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Greece: Gerontovrachos Parnassos, which means of course: 'Sticky Boots'.

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every three, or slightly less, months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2024, the blog contained over 1,636 hikes (far less than actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

65.7: A Selection from Iceland: A look back some 11 years to remind us of this amazing land.

  We interrupt the trip to Tenerife and Andorra to take a break and revisit another incredible place: Iceland. There are a large number of photographs, much greater than usual, but we try to paint a picture of Iceland. Many of the sights seem to be paintings themselves except, far superior. It truly is another beautiful place on Earth. We have as a first, omitted most captions, because of laziness, poor memories, language difficulties and a wish to highlight the images mostly alone. 

Jen finds herself in a maze of rocks at Akra.
On the 'Ring Road', we spent our nights in one of these...typical 1-bedroom, kitchen and dining with outside bathroom. Being July, the outside bathroom was always 'lit', only dimming from 1am in the morning. Think of the implications when nature called. 
Peak of Mount Sulur, Akureyri.
'Somewhere over the rainbow'.
Splendid Godafoss Falls.
On Mount Sulur.
Cheers,

Years ago, someone called me 'wet behind the ears'. Perhaps she should have waited for this opportunity. 
We provided much mirth to these locals. Two hikers we had passed earlier apparently mentioned that we were wearing crampons. These two wished to see it for themselves. In addition, they were in summer outfits while we weren't. They took pleasure in elucidating that it was mid-summer. It's nice to know we are amusing even without trying.
