Carpeing the Diem is the philosophy I use whenever I am making life-changing decisions because life is all about seizing the day and making the most out of what you’ve got while you’ve got it.

My name is Emily and I hit the big 3-0 this past year. Originally from upstate NY, my husband and I are currently posted up in the breathtaking PNW.  If I could, I would hike and do yoga for a living but for the time being we earn our spending money in our 9-5’ers.  In the summer of 2016 we became Adirondack 46ers before taking a hiatus from cube-life to SOBO thru-hike the Appalachian Trail.

The majority of our days are spent planning the next adventure, and once we’ve done that we start planning the next. You can usually find me on a mountain, a plane, or in our pop-up aframe camper.
