Episode 1: Why We Started 'Around New England'
Welcome to the first episode of Around New England! In this special introduction, we share the story behind our podcast and what inspired us to lace up our hiking boots and rediscover the great outdoors. From the mountains to the coastlines, New England is full of adventures waiting to be explored, and we’re here to guide you through them—no extreme fitness required!
We’ll dive into how a trip to Ireland and meeting Linda from Ireland Walk Hike Bike inspired us & why we believe there’s something magical about reconnecting with nature at this stage of life. Plus, we’ll give you a sneak peek into what you can expect from upcoming episodes—hidden gems, practical tips, and plenty of laughs as we navigate trails and life together.
So grab your gear and join us on this journey to make the most of the outdoors, one trail at a time.

Around New England
G & Mike met in college. After graduation they packed up and headed to Rhode Island for a few years. But after a while, they realized they were missing something—mainly, the ocean and the mountains. (Because, really, who doesn't want it all?) So, they made the move to Maine—because let’s be honest, Maine really is the way life should be.
After starting a family, they bounced around a bit more—New Hampshire, career changes, a trip to Disney World (yep, they did the whole Disney thing a few times), and squeezing in hikes whenever the kids' schedules allowed. Then came a trip to Ireland, where they experienced one of the most magical hikes of their lives. That’s when the hiking bug really bit.
When the kids flew the nest, Around New England was born. And now, they’re here to share their adventures with you. Thanks for stopping by!
