Hello, CONTROL FREAK much?! 🤪

Where are my Type A, go-out-and-make-sh*t-happen people at? I know you’re out there. Somewhere.

I thought I knew better. Honestly, I still often think I know what’s best for me, myself, and I.

But uh uh uh… not so fast, says LIFE.

I think about all the times I was sure I had something in the bag—my truest heart’s desire—and then it went sideways.

Until… it didn’t. Until some magical force conspired to turn my lemons into the most meaningful, delicious tasting lemonade.

Letting go has been one of my signature “Sam Crosses” to bear. But the truth? When I take myself a little less seriously, things tend to work out.

Because who knows where I’d be if:

I’d married that boy.
Gotten that orchestra job.
Had the second baby right away.
Not hiked Bolivia with my dad.
Hadn’t gone through “the audit.”
Hadn’t been putridly ill in Bhutan.

I’ll take every plot twist, every “no,” every reroute. They’ve all served me.

So here’s my message to my high-achieving, perfectionist ladies:

It can still work out. Even when it doesn’t go to plan.

Maybe especially when it doesn’t.

(Shout-out to my old NAC crew who made those six years some of the best of my professional life!!! 🎶🎭🩰💾☎️💁‍♀️)

There’s gold in the places no one thinks to look.

Not the obvious spots. Not the well-worn trails or the top of someone else’s highlight reel.

The legit stuff? You find it when you’ve gone farther than you thought you could.
When you’re cold, tired, and wondering why you signed up for this in the first place.

(Where are my Guatemala ladies?!)

You find it in the quiet.

In the conversations that happen when you’re too spent to be some version other than the real you.

It’s in the steps you take when no one’s watching.

It’s in the slow acceptance of yourself. As being, perhaps, the slowest.

It’s in the recognition that whatever anyone else thinks, it’s none of your business. It’s your life. These are your steps. It’s your path forward.

This is where it all starts to make sense.
This is where you find your gold.

Bhutan taught me that. So so so so grateful. And thank you to for this beautiful capture.

❤️🇧🇹

HARD-WORKING BAD-ASS AT WORK ALERT!! 📢💃🎸✨🎒🥾

Hey, peeps. See that redhead? She’s locked-in right now. Grinding and creating and editing so that our film, SEARCHING FOR HAPPINESS 🎬🎥 is ready in time for its two premieres! (April 19th and May 3rd!)

That’s right. There’s a wee documentary going to make its way into the world soon. (We believe it matters now more than ever.) and I set out last fall to tackle one of the world’s toughest treks, the “SNOWMAN” in Bhutan 🇧🇹. Along our journey, we encountered physical sickness, tricky group dynamics, altitude malaise and some very rough terrain.

But we also walked straight into some newfound perspective on what it takes to be happy, what it even means to be happy and what we might be getting wrong in our stressed out society. We are forever imprinted with the kindness and hospitality of the beautiful Bhutanese people.

And, soooo…. We can’t wait to share this film with you!! We remain grateful to all the generous supporters who rallied behind our Kickstarter, and the fantastic companies who believed in our vision, backing us financially and with gear, specifically .

Kendra—you’ve got this! 🙏🏻😘Will be your best film yet. So stoked to have partnered with you and for the record? I’d share a tent for for three weeks with you again… ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.

Details on our film premieres are in my story. Tickets will be available mid-March. Stay tuned! 🤩

I was asked recently if I wished we had saved more for our kids futures. 🫣The answer is—see below.

We’ve always believed they need skin in the game and won’t be getting handouts… The fact is, kids value what they must earn.

Still, we help where we can. Reflecting on that question and the ultimate decision that took a big dent out of “their future”… I go back ten years to a conscious choice my husband and I made for the greater good of the family:

1) be responsible and save, because, well, the “future”

OR

2) seize the day and make memories because, well, that future isn’t guaranteed anyways.

No regrets.

If you are on the fence about life TODAY vs THE FUTURE, remember this: most people never regret the time they spend with those they love. However that looks for you, don’t wait. Get out and do that THING.

What have you been putting off? 💭🤔

It’s official! 💃🎸✨🌟

I was selected to join DREAMERS & DOERS, an award-winning community and PR team that brings together values-driven women entrepreneurs, business leaders and change-makers. I am humbled and overwhelmed!

Here’s to having the biggest possible impact, together. 💫

I’m heading to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park for a few days of quiet reflection, writing and planning.

Thank you all for your support and patience while we refocus our brand!

A note to my adventure-lovers🥾🎒🌍—we aren’t abandoning our thirst for the wild. This would be like cutting off my right arm; and I need my right arm!

In the coming months you’ll see new opportunities for connection and engagement in a way I believe to be meaningful, authentic and HUGELY needed at this moment in time.

Sending you all out some love ❤️

“Must be nice” or “how’d that happen” are some things I’ve heard over the years. 🙄

Things aren’t “nice” and they don’t just “happen.”

We have to summon the courage to ask. We have to be prepared for NO. We can even assume “no.”

Growing up I was the kid who could barely ask for a glass of water at my friend Jill’s house. Somewhere along the line I’d learned that asking for what I needed was rude. It would put others out. So I used to just go along with things and stuff my needs deep into the vault.

Eventually, I discovered that asking for what I wanted was actually a normal part of being a human being! I wouldn’t stomp my feet if the answer was NO (ok, other than that time my parents said NO to an intensive ballet camp out East when I was 14!). I’d either try again later or move on.

Soon, I saw that asking for what I needed would net me some YES’s. This shocked me at first. And eventually, that turned into a mindset of HELL YEAH I’M GOING TO ASK. 👊🏻

Keeping it real? I still cringe especially if it could be an inconvenience to anyone else. But for the really weird, “should be a no because I’m nobody special” stuff—I’m just gonna ask! Because WHY NOT?

Shout-out to for saying yes in Jordan, to my Dad for loving me enough to change his whole world, to for kickstarting this amazing book club we have, to for her friendship and imagining how we could make a difference and to for believing in my vision. 🙏🏻🎒🥾

Do you find it easy or tough to ask for what you need? Are you holding back asking for that promotion? Telling your partner that “x” is not really your jam? When was the last time you spoke up? 💭

The start of THINGS TO COME.

I used to ask my dad for advice when wondering what to say to someone in any kind of a sticky situation. Perhaps I felt embarrassed or awkward about that “thing.”

He’d always say the same thing: “tell the truth.”

So—this is what’s true! Take it or leave it but it comes from a place of honest reflection. And, determination.

With thanks to my community for keeping me humble, helping me see where the greater impact is and sticking by me through all the years of curveballs.

The hikes will continue 🥾🎒. That dream is still alive—but it’s a dream that takes collaboration and a team. It cannot be done by one person alone.

While SWTW started out as my own creation story, I will be shifting the focus to you. This is YOUR community. These are your stories, your moments of action and your acts of courage.

It took me forever to get clear. I hope this message is received in the spirit with which it was intended.

Hello friends—I am rarely on here. But I thought I’d share some good news: we have dates and locations for our documentary!

Let me back up.

This past October, fellow adventurer and filmmaker Kendra Slagter and I set out on a quest to redefine happiness. Because somewhere along the way, we’d lost sight of what it means to be happy.

Yeah, I know. Didn’t I already go through this? Wasn’t quitting my career and following my heart all part of being happy?!

Some lessons are hard to learn. Maybe you can relate?

Like so many in our productivity-obsessed culture, we’d been conflating the ideals of “success” and “achievement” with happiness, in constant pursuit of a new notch in our hiking belts, or some other grandiose adventure we’d tackle. In our own way, we were still on the treadmill. Still running, producing, hustling, barely able to catch our breath.

Meanwhile, we’d heard of a little Himalayan country that seemed to do things differently. In Bhutan 🇧🇹, they’re less concerned with things like Gross Domestic Product and more focussed on something called Gross National Happiness. Like, this is a thing! The whole GNH concept informs the direction of their country! And allegedly, their people are among the “happiest” on Earth.

It sounded far-fetched, but we decided to see for ourselves.

We took our questions and mission to one of the world’s toughest treks—the mighty “Snowman” in Bhutan—and also the location of our new documentary, Searching for Happiness 📽️🎞️📢

And now, I’m stoked to share the dates and locations for our two premieres with you! This baby will be entered in ALL the festivals and we appreciate your good juju, support, encouragement, etc etc.

More details including time and specific location, ticket sales etc will be released shortly. Thank you for believing in us and this project! And thank you specifically to everyone who backed us financially/emotionally from our friends and family to strangers and the likes of Osprey Packs, Pelican and She Walks the Walk.

Get off life’s treadmill, away from the news and onto a quiet space in nature. This is where you can hear yourself think. This is where your answers lie—not when running Mach 10. Not when doom-scrolling.

The world is tough right now.

But nature is a soft space to land 🙏🏻

Let’s play, CONNECTING THE DOTS in YOUR REAR-VIEW MIRROR! ✨🪞

Seven years ago, I was in the Dominican Republic at an all-inclusive courtesy my career in finance. The resort issued their guests this bracelet, which at the time I thought, “hmmm… interesting…”

Now, all-inclusives are not really my jam. I am not a fan of being in a “compound” when the real world lies outside of it. (Adventure girl here! Take me to the unpaved road and let’s see where it goes!) I find them boring and sometimes loud but if it’s free and you live in the land of the Polar Vortex, you say “thank you, and sure I’ll come!”

The bracelet got me thinking, but really it was only the “write your story” bit. I was always into writing and loved to express, but deep deep down I knew I wanted to write a book one day.

Those “one day” dreams always seem unrealistic. Like I had the time, so wrapped up on that work/mom/life treadmill that keeps many of us in a perpetual state of running.

Nevertheless, the bracelet’s message stuck with me and I began to “dabble.” I started a newsletter so I could quietly share my yearning to leave my career with a trusted circle of peeps.

Never imagined I’d actually pull the trigger. That would be ridiculous!! Financial su***de for one, but more than that—the shattering of a family succession plan.

Never imagined I’d actually one day “live my escape….”

Here I am—seven years later. Still trucking along, figuring “it” out but definitely alive in my “escape.” And, I’ve written that book!! ✍🏻📖 This is the year it will make its way into the world.

Was the bracelet prophetic?

Likely a coincidence.

But do I read into all things as “signs?”

Sure do. 🫡

And this is my point: if you tune in, the universe is already telling you what your next steps are. It took me a while to figure this out. But the road map is there.

Funny, how things work out.

Meet Volcan de Fuego, one of three active volcanoes in Guatemala 🌋🇬🇹, home to 37 official volcanoes!

Isn’t she lovely? Not too shabby for 17,000 years old!

I’m counting the weeks until I visit her fiery self again—this time, with a pile of die-hard adventurers in tow. I’m breathing heavily already. As my husband says, “that’s hot.” 😜😝💥🔥

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Getting up close and personal with an active volcano is maybe not for the faint of heart. Especially one with a reputation of letting off steam every 15-20 mins.

At an elevation of 3,768m (12,362 ft), the hike to witness Fuego’s glory involves climbing the inactive neighbouring volcano Acetenango (3,976 m or 23,041 ft) and this is no easy feat.

It takes between 10-12 hours which most people will spread out over two days, and in my opinion, gives you phenomenal nighttime viewing excitement!

The whole experience is widely considered “WORTH IT” in all caps. Five stars, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And here’s why:

🥾the payoff at the top far exceeds the hike (my opinion)

🥾chances are, you might not get this close to an active volcano again!

🥾bearing witness to Mother Nature in all her glory is a huge, awe-inspiring privilege

🥾although challenging, the hike is doable for anyone with moderate fitness and the attitude to push through discomfort

🥾pushing through discomfort = growth and one “hell yeah!” personal moment you will never forget

And I can confirm all of this myself.

Here’s what you can expect if you add this adventure to your time in Guatemala…

A lot of heavy breathing. Some cursing. Some ooohhing and ahhhing. Feeling more alive than ever before. Feeling small but connected to the Earth like never before. And more, but best leave some things to the imagination.

SWTW trekkers—can’t wait to pant our way up that volcano this February!

Weather should not be the reason you stay inside (says the girl glued to her space heater) or avoid an epic winter adventure. It’s all about managing your body’s thermostat! And it starts with your layering system.

I get asked all the time about mine and have learned from trial and error what works best for me.

As a gal who runs perpetually cold—note, I’m typically miserable to be around when cold—I take this s**t seriously!

I tend to err on the side of being over-prepared. That could mean multiple systems I can switch up depending on my body’s response to the elements.

(Lmao, don’t get me started about hormones and what THEY’RE doing to my dialled-in system 😂)

Some other pieces not mentioned in here include the all-purpose synthetic vest, a great piece to keep your core warm while working up a sweat, and the cooler, “silk” base layer.

Depending on how hard you’ll be working—which could well depend on the terrain and your body’s own management of sweat—you may want to start out with that one base layer, add the vest and then your shell.

I was constantly ripping off layers on the ascents in Bhutan, then throwing them all back on once we stopped. This “dance” of managing your body temp will be ongoing.

What’s your fave go-to piece?

We’ll talk about lower body (and socks!) on the next post. 🚶🏼‍♀️🥾🏔️

My thanks to and for the exceptional products, service and advice 🙏🏻👏🙌🏻

Shout-out to Sayre and Molly for sharing their beautiful mugs with my camera phone in Bhutan 🇧🇹

My motto for 2025—distilled down to four words. Because trails don’t judge or keep score. And moving my body feels better than death scrolling. And trying too hard is old and tired.

Come to me, 2025! Let’s do this! 💪🙏🏻

Anyone else have a motto for this year? I might put mine on a necklace 😂 Or probs more like a t-shirt…

Hey friends.

It’s been a hot minute 🔥I take these disconnection breaks for my sanity and they work wonders!

Today I’m reflecting on advice received from a stranger, sent via someone who isn’t. The gist:

We’ve been taught never to give up. We’ve been taught that perseverance and patience are virtues. And they are.

But it’s also imperative that we critically examine what’s working and what isn’t.

This involves doing some things that may feel counterintuitive if you’re used to making s**t happen in your life.

(Hi! Have we met?! 🙋‍♀️)

For example, it can mean sitting back, to let things unfold for a while (unnatural if you’re a doer-type!).

It can also mean getting real with your version of “what’s working.”

Does that definition refer just to money? What about energetically? Is what you’re doing fuelling your spirit?

Does it feed your soul?

If the answer is yes, but you haven’t yet sorted the money part, don’t discount your current set of circumstances.

Feeding your so-called soul DOES matter. Otherwise, why would people walk away from something lucrative but stable-and-boring?

Soul-feeding, however, also only lasts for so long. Because we deserve to thrive in every sense of the word.

It is OKAY to expect a return on your investment in yourself. It is also OKAY to set down something that’s not working in order to make space for the new.

If you think I’m being cryptic, well, maybe I am. 😜 My message is honest: we cannot always move forward without looking in our rear view mirrors.

What IS working for you? What ISN’T?

Life is too short not to take stock. Our time on Earth is too precious to maintain a steady status quo.

Don’t be afraid to shake things up. Don’t fear examining all the pieces. Don’t dread letting some things go…

I guarantee you that deep down, we all question things a little. I say question things A LOT. It’s not about a lack of gratitude. It’s about a healthy respect for what matters most to us.

We can’t know unless we look.

The end. Thanks for coming to my therapy sesh 😆🥰

SLEEPING BAG 101–
When do you invest in a new bag? Do you go hybrid or all down? Here’s my take.

*******

At the risk of sounding dramatic, putting myself in the precarious position of not being able to get (or stay) warm is HELL for me. 🥶

Thankfully, I stumbled into Seventh Heaven warmth for the Snowman Trek in Bhutan. But this would not have happened had my sister not intervened.

She took one look at my bulky old bag and one look at my duffel and raised her left eyebrow. Then she asked if I wanted to take chances with my always-cold self.

Dang… 😩She was right.

My MEC bag was a hybrid, meaning it had a balance of down and synthetic insulation. It had served me well over the years, but it wasn’t the warmest thing on the planet. And it didn’t exactly pack up small. This is in large part due to the synthetic material and is one of the concessions you’ll need to make if looking at a hybrid bag.

It was hard to part with my trusty old pal when I retired him to our furnace room. I’m certain he’ll see the light of day again—but it was time to level up. And really? Nobody wants to be cold when already challenged. I knew the Snowman would be daunting enough as it was.

I will admit to humming and hawing when it comes to buying new gear. But as a seasoned hiker, I never skimp on footwear, rain gear or warmth. (Why be miserable?) And if you do your homework, you can find something of high quality that you’ll love and use for decades. (Or at least 15 years, which is how long my first four-season bag served me!)

If you’re heading out for winter camping or to an expedition expected to be “cold,” I recommend the Murre ES 0 sleeping bag! This is not your auntie’s spare sleep sack.

The Murre packed down MUCH smaller than my old hybrid and kept me out of Hell throughout the duration of our Snowman. I’m talking nearly three weeks of camping at altitudes over 4,500 m on average (14,700+ ft).

Check out my full review of this sleeping bag on my blog. Link in bio! ⬆️

Photo cred: and also the best tent mate ever. ❤️

I admit it: I’ve looked for “a better life” maybe my whole life. This is part and parcel of perfectionism, curiosity, and also I think, human nature.

Although I encourage a healthy dose of questioning our lives, it can lead to an unending search. For there might always be a yearning!

One of the things I learned in Bhutan was about the Three Poisons of Buddhism. Among these are GREED, also known as ATTACHMENT or LUST.

It seems the good ol’ ego is responsible for this poison! We always want more of whatever feels good. More prestige. More salary. More adventure.

As Kendra and I were on the hunt for renewed definitions of HAPPINESS on our Snowman Trek in Bhutan, I tried to collect observations whenever they struck me.

Some observations were tiny pebbles. I’d notice them, pick them up and put them in my pocket. Like the quiet observation that the Bhutanese seem to smile all the time. And this act of smiling SURELY contributes to their happiness. (What comes first, the happiness or the smile?!)

But other learnings were like tripping over major life epiphanies:

On reflection, I realized that I’ve always been searching. For “Something Else.” More meaning. More fulfillment. That “thing.” I couldn’t necessarily name it but I knew what it wasn’t. Perhaps it was freedom, just to be me.

Anyways, I have realized that so long as I am in search mode I might never be Happy with a capital H. It is likely the reason my soul is so restless. (You might have noticed, lol)

The lesson of just “counting my blessings” and being Happy with what already is, is something my father tried to gently teach me. I even tattooed it on my arm when he passed… 🥹

It wasn’t until I came home from Bhutan and reflected deeper. Most of what matters to me I already have: a tight relationship with my family, the love of good friends, and some decent health. 💕

This isn’t to say I will stop seeking. But it is to say what’s right in front of me is sometimes dimmed by that darn fishing expedition.

Grateful for what IS.

Kilimanjaro Climb: Dispatch SNEAK PEEK

So excited to finally share all our dispatches from our Kili Climb this past June. It's taken me more than a hot minute to process the adventure... the literal ups and downs, if you will. Suffice to say, climbing Kilimanjaro has filled me with renewed confidence. It was—in a word—EPIC. If you're curious, follow us on Instagram @shewalksthewalk or Youtube (samanthaplavins) for all the vlogs, beginning next Monday. Here's a teaser of what's to come! xoxo Smash your day, everyone!

Let me break it down for you: Walking in the High Atlas Mountains is a dream ☺️... But only if you enjoy a behind-the-scenes glimpse into real, rural Morocco. Must also love dramatic mountainscapes. Endless blue skies. And fertile valleys. The trekking possibilities are endless! A guide is mandatory on most routes and travelling without one in remote areas is irresponsible. The most frequently asked question I get: IS WALKING IN THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS HARD? Well, it's neither easy nor hard. The terrain is rugged and often dusty. You'll need strong ankle support in your boots and a great attitude. Sometimes we'll walk in water, other times a benevolent gentleman named Moha will show up and offer a piggyback across... sparing the soggy shoes! Our only job is to walk, one foot in front of the other, peer around corners, traverse some boulders, head up mountain passes and down into green valleys. We'll pick apples and peaches right off the trees, igniting our tastebuds in fantastic new ways. BTW, we eat like queens. Our chefs bake the fluffiest bread right on trail... We'll stop for a break and will have caught up with the mules and muleteers (our expedition team!). Everyone is busy sourcing fresh water and chopping vegetables for that savoury tagine. Mmmm... TAGINE! My favourite parts of this trek? Literally, everything! My cheeks hurt fro spending so much time "in my happy place," that is, the great outdoors. In a world where I don't know the culture and can embrace new ways of thinking and being. Surrendering to paths that seem to go on forever. Falling asleep to the gentle babble of a brook. Tomorrow we'll share some tips for navigating Marrakech. (If you aren't following on Instagram, I'm just saying, you totally should!) Check out Walk Morocco here: https://shewalksthewalk.com/gwas/walk-morocco/

What are you waiting for?

It's time to get off that damn treadmill! Challenge your body, invigorate your spirit, and have yourself a personal WIN this year.

The Barranco Wall: #kilimanjaro 🥾! AKA “the kissing wall,” requires trekkers to use all four limbs to scramble up the tight traverse. It is by far a highlight for most who tackle Mount Kilimanjaro, towering 257m in height after four days of hiking. This part of the ascent requires a single-file line as you hug (and kiss!) the rock on your way up and around. I can’t wait experience it! Join us this June with G’Adventures for our Discover Kilimanjaro trek, part of She Walks the Walks’s Inside Track series… your chance to explore while we explore! Open to anyone with a gritty attitude and good health. Registration closes March 15th, limited spots remaining. Ready to make your life feel BIG? Try a little adventure this year.

20 minutes sleep. Your toes are already numb. Your sleeping bag—so cozy and warm. But its’s time to wake up and breathe in that thinner air! Today—is #summitday on Kilimanjaro 🗻. One foot in front of another. That’s all it takes, along with the encouragement of your team and some grit, and you’ll conquer that mountain before you! She Walks the Walk is heading to Tanzania this June to knock a long-awaited dream off the bucket list! We have five spots left on our trek, all part of our Inside Track series of adventures. The Inside Track is a walking adventure with vetted partners I like and trust. It won’t just be ladies, and I’ll be there alongside you… having my own moments of exhaustion, exhilaration, and celebration.

The one sound you don’t want to avoid: NATURE. For when it all gets to be just a little (A LOT) too much. 🤪😳😩🤦🏼‍♀️ Our GWA to the mysterious and delightful Guatemala is just six weeks away!! Bring on the cloud forest, the monkeys, the ruins, the colourful textiles, the full-bodied coffee, the volcanoes both dormant and active, the cool rains, the hot sun, the altitude, the kindness of Mayan villagers, the quetzals, and the sound of our feet tiptoeing across rickety suspension bridges.
