Chasing Trail

Chasing Trail

Work With Me

Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in working with me. Chasing Trail is dedicated to inspiring and helping people get out and explore more of the world — even if, for now, that’s just your backyard. Focusing on adventure travel and lesser-known destinations, this blog offers up tips, itineraries, packing guides, product reviews, and much more, all aimed at being comprehensive resources for every traveler.

In addition to creating all-original content for Chasing Trail, I’m also a freelance travel writer.

As you might expect, I specialize in writing engaging, SEO-optimized content centered around adventure, nature, gear, and destinations/local lifestyle. However, I have a well-rounded portfolio with experience writing about fashion, automotive, food, and even medical and legal topics. My work appears on popular websites including Cruise America, Coast Hotels, RiverBeats, Action Hub, NextLuxury, Ready, Set, Eat, and more. I’ve also been published in numerous print magazines, including ROVA, GLAMP, NorthPointe, and Survival.

Between Chasing Trail and my professional writing career, there are numerous ways we can work together.

  • Sponsored/media trips
  • Brand ambassadorship
  • Travel and outdoor product reviews
  • Sponsored blog and/or social media posts
  • Photography
  • Content writing for your website
  • Social media management
  • SEO consultation
  • Keyword research

I would love to hear more about your brand, what you have in mind in terms of a campaign, and how I may be able to support your vision. Please email me directly at info@chasingtrailblog.com, or fill out the contact form below. Thank you, and I can’t wait to work with you!

    Hi, I’m Taryn!

    Hi, I’m Taryn!

    I travel extensively, hike kind of a lot, am a champion of the underdog, definitely don't identify as 'indoorsy,' have a serious love affair with glamping, believe life largely revolves around eating and drinking well, and I'm a wannabe photographer. If any of that resonates with you, let's connect!

    Let’s connect on Instagram!

    I've seen the Blues over a dozen times, but always from land - and honestly, I didn't think it would be much different from a boat. I was wrong!

Fun (maybe not-so-fun, I suppose) fact: my trip to Pensacola was booked MONTHS ago, and my itinerary was verrrrrry different up until the beginning of this month. The govt shutdown meant I couldn't visit Fort Pickens, the Gulf Island National Seashore, and several other spots. It also meant the Blue Angels weren't traveling for air shows, so they practiced at home instead. I would never have seen this, much less from the water, if things were business as usual. When life gives you lemons...

Thank you for this unforgettable experience @friskymermaidpb and @visitpensacola !!

    Kennaday Peak Lookout is one of just a handful of fire towers in Wyoming you can spend the night in (as you can see, though, it's been vandalized and trashed - I'm not sure I'd personally feel safe up here overnight). This one is unique in that you can drive right up to it.

Fire lookouts are unfortunately fading from existence as drones and other modern technology replace them, so I'm always stoked to explore one, especially when you can see the inside...and even more especially when there's no one around to have to share it with 🙌

Have you ever seen the inside of a fire lookout?

Thank you to @discovercarboncountywy and @wyoming.outdoor.adventures for sending me off on this solo adventure!

    "The trail leads not merely north and south, but up to the body, mind, and soul of man" - Harold Allen

Got to play in Wyoming's Medicine Bow range last week, exploring solo in this beast at nearly 11,000 feet. There is no better therapy or stronger medicine.
