ABOUT BROOKE BEYOND

hi, I’m Brooke!

I’m a full-time traveller obsessed with getting off the beaten path, exploring backcountry gems, and reaching dramatic summits. I’ve spent the last decade exploring the world (and nearly five years living out of a suitcase) with no plans to return to “normal” life.

My love for travel started young, and at 18, I moved across the world by myself to start a new life in Australia, convinced there was something more waiting beyond my rainy Seattle suburb. Over the next 8 years, I juggled multiple jobs & university degrees, squeezing every spare moment (and dollar) into travel: catching overnight buses in Bolivia, exploring jungle temples in Cambodia, hiking alpine trails in Italy & chasing true adventure everywhere from Argentina to Zimbabwe.

When I finished my PhD at the end of 2019, I set out to fulfill my wildest dream: an entire year of solo travel. In less than 9 months, I saved $70k AUD, sold everything I owned in Melbourne, and booked a one-way flight. But it didn’t take long to realise this was more than just a “trip” & suddenly my wildest dream became even wilder: what if this could be my life?

Since then, I’ve embraced vanlife, spent nearly 2 years exploring my favourite place in the world (Mexico!),  trekked through some of the most remote corners of the planet, gotten lost in 60 countries, and summited mountains like Aconcagua and Mont Blanc completely solo + unsupported.

Now, I travel full-time with my life/climbing partner, James, and together we chase windy summits, backcountry trails & wild landscapes, on a mission to explore the most awe-inspiring corners of the planet and help others do the same. We’ve built our life around adventure and intentional travel, creating BrookeBeyond as a space to share ultra-detailed trail guides, adventure itineraries, and expert gear recommendations for people who want to travel deeper, hike farther, and truly connect with the world around them.

About the blog

This blog is here to take you beyond—

Beyond the marked trail.

Beyond the tourist hotspots.

Beyond the headlines.

Beyond what you expect a place to be.

And beyond what you think you can do.

🌍 Beyond the ordinary

I believe travel should be bold, challenging, and ultimately an opportunity for growth. Forget laying around the pool at a 5-star resort, I’m drawn to lesser-known natural wonders, rich cultural immersion, and the kind of adventures that push you outside of your comfort zone— because that’s where the real magic is! The world is an incredible place and there’s wonder in every single corner for those willing to dig a little deeper and venture beyond the typical tourist track.

🌱 Responsible, intentional travel

I truly believe that if we set out with intention, travel can be a profound source for good, both for the curious traveller and the local communities we choose to support. In promoting alternate destinations, we hope to redistribute tourism to better support local economies & protect the wild places that inspire us. Getting off the beaten path doesn’t just lead to hidden gems and unique experiences, it’s also a conscious way to counter over-tourism and maximise the positive impact of travel.

The Monastery in Petra

🥾 Backcountry routes & summit missions

From the Andes to the Alps, I’ve tackled some of the world’s most epic trails, mapped out hundreds of off-grid routes, and built detailed GPS tracks so you can cultivate your own epic adventures without weeks of planning. These resources are built for you to explore boldly, whether you’re with a partner or setting off solo— some of my life’s greatest moment have been on the side of a mountain, entirely alone. Don’t wait for the perfect companion and certainly don’t wait for permission to tackle ambitious goals!

  • With sufficient outdoor experience, sound judgement, and reasonable conditions, these 10 hikes are an excellent choice for safe winter hiking in Lofoten! We personally completed all of these hikes in January 2026 with just microspikes + trekking poles (and no other technical climbing equipment), though it should be noted that conditions vary winter to winter— and even week to week. In the event of heavy snowfall, some trails may become impassable without snowshoes or simply unsafe altogether. **It should ALSO go without saying that you are responsible for yourself in the outdoors; this list is based on our own personal experience and must be interpreted within the bounds of your own experience and current winter conditions.

  • Although sauna culture is shared across much of the Nordic region, Norway has put its own spin on the tradition with thousands of floating, fjord-side saunas (that I am truly obsessed with). In many coastal towns, these wood-fired saunas are moored right in the harbour, with a hatch or ladder that drops straight into the icy fjord for a cold plunge. The result is a distinctly Norwegian winter ritual: alternating intense heat and 3C seawater while surrounded by dramatic mountain and fjord scenery 😍 a few of our favourite floating saunas in Norway: 📍 Fjordsauna, Flåm @fjordsauna 📍 Vulkana Arctic Spa Boat, Tromsø @vulkana.adventure 📍 Pust Lavvo Sauna, Tromsø @pust.lifestyle 📍 KOK Langkaia, Oslo @kokoslo.no 📍 Soria Moria Sauna, Dalen @dalenhotel ——— #sauna #floatingsauna #norway #scandinavia #winterescape

4/5
Although sauna culture is shared across much of the Nordic region, Norway has put its own spin on the tradition with thousands of floating, fjord-side saunas (that I am truly obsessed with). In many coastal towns, these wood-fired saunas are moored right in the harbour, with a hatch or ladder that drops straight into the icy fjord for a cold plunge. The result is a distinctly Norwegian winter ritual: alternating intense heat and 3C seawater while surrounded by dramatic mountain and fjord scenery 😍 a few of our favourite floating saunas in Norway: 📍 Fjordsauna, Flåm @fjordsauna 📍 Vulkana Arctic Spa Boat, Tromsø @vulkana.adventure 📍 Pust Lavvo Sauna, Tromsø @pust.lifestyle 📍 KOK Langkaia, Oslo @kokoslo.no 📍 Soria Moria Sauna, Dalen @dalenhotel ——— #sauna #floatingsauna #norway #scandinavia #winterescape
