Hi I’m Joe! I’m the founder of Explores Inc. But that’s not important right now. Traveling and enjoying the great outdoors is the mission here. This site is a collection of stories and suggestions for places to go and useful stuff to take with you along the way. I live in the great state of Maryland and many of my tales are centered around the Mid-Atlantic area including hikes along the Appalachian Trail and bike routes like the C&O canal. As often as possible, I like to explore farther from home. “Traditional” travel is great, but what I like to write about are outdoor adventures that feel unique and do not cost a lot of money.
Explores Inc. is your guide to explore, sometimes unconventionally. Whether it’s on foot, by bike, train, plane, boat, or car, there are so many things to see in the world. Exploring doesn’t have to be expensive, and we seek out the best places with the goal of minimizing expenses and maximizing the experience.
Traveling with tour groups has its advantages, but travel and exploration on your own terms gives you a better connection to people and the earth. So in a nutshell, that’s what Explores Inc. is about: providing insights for travel locations focused on the outdoors, and usually on a budget.
