About Us.
Our mission is to share our vegetarian, nomadic lifestyle with you and to inspire you to explore the world by foot.
Nomadic. Vegetarian. Hiker. Let’s adventure together.
Avid adventurer. Global circumnavigator. Walking advocate.
Chris Englert, the Walking Traveler, has visited over 60 countries and all 50 states. Usually traveling with her teen daughter and husband, yet sometimes by herself as a solo traveler, she uncovers neighborhood walks, urban hikes, and pescatarian/vegetarian eats that other guide books miss. Be sure to read her fun adventures in her books:
Author: Discovering Denver Parks
Author: Best Urban Hikes: Denver
Author: Walking Denver’s Neighborhoods
Author: Travel Magic Postcards, Vignettes from the Walking Traveler
Contributing Author: The High Line Canal Guide
Chris is also Denver’s Urban Hiker, and appears in social media under @denverbyfoot. Under this moniker, she posts about trails, hikes, parks, and neighborhoods strictly in Denver within the C470 loop. From 71 mile trails to 1-mile neighborhood walks, find the urban hiking content at DenverByFoot.com.
