Dirtbag Darling started as a blog meant to inspire more women to get outdoors and evolved over the years to be a personal journal and a place to swap stories about the pioneering women of the outdoors (and the ones just embarking on their first outdoor experiences). It’s a celebration of owning less, doing more, and having simple, authentic experiences worth writing about. And getting dirty. Obviously. But mostly? It’s a blog about having fun, redefining the meaning of adventure, and getting “out there.” Whatever that looks like.
