About Jill Homer
It’s a truly absurd life
"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back. " — Albert Camus
“Adventure Unpacked” is a newsletter written by Jill Homer — who, according to social media profiles, is an "author, journalist, cyclist, trail runner, endurance junkie, and blogger who likes to go where the wind takes her. ” I’ve written six books about outdoor adventures, but the bulk of my professional career has been spent in newspaper journalism — yes, the ink and paper kind. The medium was already archaic when I graduated from college at the turn of the millennium, but I remain hopelessly passionate about local journalism and its quixotic mission to connect and inform people about the stories happening in their communities.
