LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nepal, Begnas: The Annapurna Mountain Range (part).

'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. Our 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.

Tracing a relationship/togetherness from September 26th, 1969 to December 16th, 2019 (5 years courtship and 45 years of marriage.)


When we looked back at the pictures posted in this section, we noticed a recurring theme: struggle***. Isn't that what life is about? Take away the struggle and what have you? Overcome or at least deal with the struggles and the rewards will exceed the hardships and by a wide margin. The more sweat, the more satisfaction.

***May we all have reasonable health.







Hawaii.





Pamporovo, Bulgaria.




Mount Everest, South Africa.





Sentinel, South Africa.

Mesquite Flats, Death Valley--one giant sandpit.





Staggering scenes from Argentina.




We humbly ask for many more years together and quite a few peaks, too.


Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
