What is Living the Teacher Life?

Hi, I’m Janey—trail runner, teacher, and lover of wild places. is a space for those who feel most alive under open skies, on winding trails, and around campfires. Whether you're chasing sunrise miles through golden aspens, hiking rugged switchbacks, or foraging for fall flavors on a quiet forest walk, this blog celebrates the deep connection between movement, nature, and joy.

Here, you’ll find trail-tested gear tips, seasonal fueling ideas, reflections from the backcountry, and stories that blend running, hiking, camping, and foraging into a lifestyle rooted in curiosity and renewal.

“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” — John Muir

So grab your trail shoes, lace up your boots, or pack your camp stove—and come explore with me. Let’s wander, run, rest, and reconnect with the rhythms of the wild.
