West Coast Trail
75 kilometres, seven days, and more than 100 ladders. My second time on this trail.
What happens between “I've always wanted to…” and “I'm glad I did.”
The adventures, the planning, the setbacks, and the decisions in between. And an invitation to share yours.

What it is
Make the trail visible, not the pedestal.
Living Vicariously is about the space between wanting and doing. Every epic photo has a backstory: the preparation, the fear, the setbacks, the small decisions that added up. This is where I share that part, what it actually took, so you can see your own version of possible. Maybe your thing looks nothing like a multi-day hike. That's the point.
Living Vicariously
The trails so far.
North Coast Trail
Storm conditions, tough terrain, and miles hiked by headlamp.
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Dead Woman's Pass at 13,829 feet… thin air, and a view that drops your jaw.
“What makes ordinary people decide to do extraordinary things?”
Why me
The first case study, not the destination.
I'm Amanda Robinson, founder of The Digital Gal. I run my business in a way so that I can live, and this is the living part. I'm not here as a coach with a plan for your life. I'm sharing what I'm figuring out as I go, and making room for other people's stories too.
Your turn
Who do you know who did the thing?
I'm collecting stories of people who went from “I've always wanted to…” to “I'm glad I did,” including the work and the parts that didn't go to plan. Tell me who comes to mind.
