Wander in Wonder

Lisa Holcomb, Wander the Whites

Welcome to the very last episode of Guides Gone Wild for 2022!

I’m still recovering for the crazy pace of stoke we had going on here a few weeks back, but rather than take a week off, I decided to squeeze in one more inspiring guide - today I’m talking with Lisa Holcomb of Wander the Whites.

If you plan to listen to this in the car on your way to the North Conway area for a long New Year's weekend celebration, you are IN LUCK! Lisa is an outdoor guide who works with a ton of hotels and resorts in the White Mountains, taking folks out to immerse themselves in nature, whether they’re looking for a gentle meditative walk or a cardio blasting snowshoe-to-summit.

My favorite part of this conversation is the wonder you still hear in Lisa’s voice as she describes the first time she drove into Crawford Notch. Needless to say, the White Mountains grabbed her heart right then and never let go, and today she revels in sharing that wonder and joy with all of the guests she guides.

You could plan six vacations with all the helpful info Lisa shared with us!:
