Adventure doesn’t end as we progress through life.
It gets more interesting as we slow down and better appreciate the places and people we encounter.

Dusty Boots Journal is a space for travellers who prefer the back roads to the highways, the hidden stories to the glossy brochures, the unscripted moments, and the kind of journeys that produce stories worth telling.
