LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

A tapestry of color from a mountain peak above Yogadina, Bulgaria.

'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.

69.19 Bulgaria: A video of Bulgarian Mountain Scenes...Taken on a hike up to 'Eagle Eye' in Yogadina.

Here is a second video following our initial endeavor into state-of-the-art high-class digital publications...nice thought. It's also, known as struggling to try to put something together in new technology...well, for the much older population, most things are new. Of course, our editor did not check the limitation of the video and size restrictions, thinking our computing requirements are minimal in terms of what's out there. In this case, Jeffrey was acting as editor, and after much effort, found in order to meet editorial and publications standards, (not quality), said video had to be reduced by 50%. This means, dear viewers will be deprived, should that read be relieved? Anyway, should we get a minimum of 2 viewers communicating that they would like to see the other 50%, watch us spring into action to bring it to your screen. 

  After clicking on the arrow (middle of picture), the screen will be ready to accept 
instructions:     

- To enter the full screen, click on the block/square at the bottom-right corner. 
- To exit the screen upon completion, click on the bottom-right corner symbol. 
- To focus on a particular image, click on it and it will remain visible until a re-click.
   Thereafter, continue to scroll-down or scroll down at the outset to avoid the video.
