ABOUT BROOKE BEYOND

Hi, I’m Brooke!

I’m a full-time traveller obsessed with exploring unique destinations, remote landscapes, and high-elevation summits around the world.

At 18, I moved from Seattle to Australia in search of something different, eventually earning permanent residency and a PhD in Biomechanics. But in 2020, I felt that all-too-familiar pull again— so I bought a suitcase and a one-way ticket to the next adventure!

Since then, I’ve explored 70+ countries, solo climbed mountains like Aconcagua & Mont Blanc, driven a van from Canada to Guatemala, designed (and sold out!) my very own group trips, and grown this blog from a casual travel journal into a trusted source for thesis-level hiking guides & adventure itineraries. It’s such a privilege to share them with you 🖤

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.

🥾 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!
