My name is Eric, and I’m the writer of Earth by Foot. Since I was a child, I’ve been drawn to exploration, travel, culture, and adventure. When I became a husband and father, I never stopped exploring and dragged my family on adventures worldwide.
An essential part of my story includes seven years in which I battled a curable cancer off and on. I wouldn’t trade that experience and it strengthened my relationship with God, family, friends, and forced me to think differently.
Instead of thinking about dying, I thought about life. I continued traveling, but with more purpose and more adventures. I’ve been in remission for three years and live a healthy, active life.
I started this travel blog to help other families live boldly through adventures. This blog is not a story about a guy who had cancer who’s living like he’s dying, but rather a story about living a life that’s meant to be lived the way it should be, with purpose and intention the way God intended.
I challenge others to stop and reflect on their lives and ask if they’re living the lives they think they should. Is there more to life than daily routines and mundane tasks? Are you forming bonds with your kids and teaching them values through experiences?
I encourage you to leave your comfort zone and start living today. It’s never too late and you’re never too old to try new things or live differently. Join my family, Earth by Foot, as we travel the world one step at a time and show you ways to live adventurously.
