LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT
South Africa: Devil's Peak: A bird's eye view of a section of Cape Town.
'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 couple of 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 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that 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.

55.36 Andorra: Juclar Lake, a hike one fine morning in a rather special country.
This is a sign that he thinks he has to live up to one of his nicknames: 'Twinkle-toes' (see text). Unfortunately, it's a permanent stance.
'How do you beat the freshness of the mornings?' Perhaps, a good deodorant.
Jen reaches the top, Juclar Lake, and assumes she's earned a break.
While she reflects...
The ultimate: Taking the gap.
Feeling guilty about resting, she changes positions.
Let's go home. On the way back, we met a couple and their son. The woman was American while her husband was French. We suppose the son was confused. The point to mention is the Frenchman was a real character and provided a very entertaining twenty minutes. Meetings on the trails are invariably unique, fascinating and worthwhile experiences. Of course, it helps keep our command of foreign languages sharp. (Oui, Da and Ja.) Need I add more.
Cheers,
