A TRAVEL BLOG ENCOURAGING YOU OFF THE BEATEN PATH

WHY BROKEN BOOTS?
I believe you should explore until your boots wear out. I mean hiking mountains until the laces pill, wandering cities until the soles wear through, and trekking through streams until the leather is quite literally coming apart at the seams. I believe that broken boots are proof of a life well lived.
Broken Boots Travel is a travel blog created out of a love for this type of adventure. Here you’ll find everything from practical travel tips to stories to inspire you to be a creative, thoughtful traveler. So let’s go hike some mountains, make some friends, and tell some stories, shall we?
I’M VIRGINIA
I’m originally from Virginia (yes — I know!) but currently living in Colombia, previously in the United Arab Emirates.
I’m a travel documentarian, photographer, and most of all, a lover of stories. I’m passionate about traveling off the beaten path — exploring places that don’t always make the top of the “must-see” lists. My favorite travel moments always involve a bit of adventure and the people I meet along the way.

Explore Colombia
A GRINGA ON A MISSION
Maybe you know me as that American gal trying to visit all the departments of Colombia — and, well, howdy!
Colombia is one of the most culturally, naturally, and ethnically diverse countries in the world and I’m on a mission to find out what’s unique about each of its 32 departments. I’ve been driving my moto Kali all over the country and producing a video for each department I visit.
As a result, this blog has become one of the most comprehensive Colombia guides on the internet. You can find all my Colombia articles here, or learn more about the department docu-series here.
