Welcome to Average Wild Experience!

My name is Megan C. and I would like to personally welcome you to my hiking and travel site! I’m so glad you are here and I can’t wait to bring you on my adventures.

The point of this site is to help you plan your very own hiking adventure by providing detailed posts about my hike(s), where I stayed, and as much helpful information as I can squeeze into a single post. Here is a sample of a Hiking Post you can check out!

Snap Shot About Me

Again I say welcome! I am the writer, photographer, hiker and traveler behind these posts, so I figure it’s only fair that you know a little bit about me!

I’ve been hiking since I was a little kid but my first true mountain came when I was 18. Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The tallest mountain in the northeast corner of the United States.

As I stood above the tree line, looking out at the White Mountains in NH and feeling that satisfying type of tired, I knew I wanted to hike more. Ever since then I’ve been hooked.

Want more details on my personal hiking experiences and me? Start with my About Me page.

My husband and I got married in 2020 and we’ve been going hiking together since early in our dating days. Originally both from Pennsylvania, we decided to sell our house in PA and move to Tennessee in 2022 for new opportunities.

But in 2024 we left our apartment in Tennessee and moved into a 25 foot travel trailer! Between 2024 and 2025 we visited 21 states, stayed in 40 campgrounds and traveled over 40,000 miles…and we aren’t done yet! We will be continuing in 2026.

And as far a hiking goes, we have even bigger plans for 2026!

We have set a goal to go on 100 different hikes this year. Yup, you read that right. We did 56 hikes this in 2024, 70 hikes in 2025, and we have decided to keep pushing that number! With so many new states that we’ll be traveling to, we’re super excited to get out there and hit the trails.

All of these hikes and our past adventures I will be blogging about. If you want to check out a few of our adventures, take a look at my Hiking Adventures category.
