Fail Better, Adventure Harder

Are you ready to level up your next adventure but not sure where to start? Same. My first canoe trip was also the first time I was ever in a canoe. No better way to learn than to just paddle!

We set up before our trip but didn’t think about water testing it, until now…[read the full story of our first backwoods trip]

Well Hello

I’m Sarah

the planner behind SNAFU’D Adventures. Sometimes the planning, researching, and discovering new places can be just as exciting as the adventure. Sometimes it can be a total snafu. Either way, you’re in the right place.

I may be the planner but I wouldn’t be the adventurer I am without my adventure bestie, Tim. And of course, most of our adventures include the puppies!
