Justine Mulliez

Freelance Writer, Content Creator, PR Strategist

United States

Nomad, creative brain, and curious cat, I am a 29-year-old French-American who has spent years chasing winter around the globe and who currently calls Bend, Oregon, home. I live from my passions and while not working as a project manager in the action sports industry or as an outdoor educator working with youth in the wild, I can be found gallivanting around the world's mountainous regions with my border collie/lab mix Wanaka, snowboarding, backpacking, climbing, mountain biking and generally pushing my limits and learning from trial and failure.

Off the mountain, I love to write, make music, and paint, roam around the country in my Subaru and try to answer life's many questions (ie. what's for dinner?). Fascinated by the natural world and human connection, I write about the outdoors, creativity, and the human experience.

5 Habits to Adopt for Adventuring Outdoors

As backpackers, we're often heading into the wilderness to seek refuge in nature's many wonders. We're drawn to beautiful overlooks to view mountains painted across the sky in different shades, we're lured into riverbeds teeming with life, and we're often running from the hustle and bustle of the city.

How to Care for Your Backpacking Bag

Proper care for your pack is pivotal to ensuring your gear can travel through all your adventures with you as long as possible. This elongates the lifespan of your gear, while making it look clean and maintaining its mint condition! 1) Remove Any Dirt After Every Trip Every time you return from a backpacking trip: Completely empty your bag.
