Tell your trail story

We all have stories from the trail worth sharing

Storytelling is underrated in bringing happiness into our lives. As a storyteller, I often share my experiences in my writing and conversations. I also love to listen to others' stories. Stories surround us, and everyone has a unique story to share.

Hiking or biking through nature isn't about the journey. It's about weaving our stories of connecting with the outdoors and how it draws us to these trails. I look for stories about trails, cycling, and bike touring. Whether it's an everyday adventure, an unexpected discovery, or simply the beauty of the outdoors, I'm eager to hear them all.

I invite my readers to share their personal stories. Don't underestimate the power of your words. Your story, no matter how simple, can connect with others. I genuinely believe there's an audience from everyone's perspective. Immersed in the stories of bicycle touring, I find my worldview expanding as I live vicariously through the adventures of others.

The rise of social media has blurred and blended the lines between traditional writing and visual storytelling. The era where anyone can become a storyteller and reach a global audience is here. Technology has made this new storytelling more engaging through vlogs, video shorts, podcasts, and photo sharing.

When we share our trail adventures, we're not just telling stories. We connect with other cyclists, hikers, and lovers of the outdoors. Mobile apps open a wider world of storytelling possibilities at our fingertips. Whether you're writing a post, sharing photos, or capturing the moment on video, you connect with people.

When you share your trail experiences, you're not just telling your story. You're spreading a message of adventure, health, and happiness. You are an advocate for trails. Being an influencer isn’t about number of likes, views, and comments. It’s connecting with others to a deeper level that inspires them to find joy outdoors.

Facebook and Instagram are great platforms for sharing your trail adventures. By joining trail-specific groups and actively participating, you can connect with a community of people who share your passion for trails and the outdoors.

Ready to connect at a higher level with the community of trail enthusiasts? Share your adventures in videos and video shorts on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram Stories. Sharing videos on social media doesn't require professional video production skills. It’s your authenticity, passion, and message that matters.
