Exciting Year Ahead

I am beyond excited to share that the next twelve months will be packed with incredible experiences and unforgettable milestones. There’s so much in store, and I can’t wait to take you along for the ride. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming up!

A Journey to Africa

In mid-May, Kris and I will be setting off an adventure of a lifetime…our first trip to Africa! We’ll meet Kris’ cousin Mary in Johannesburg, South Africa, and from there, we’ll dive headfirst into a sixteen-day journey across some awe-inspiring landscapes.

Our adventure will take us to the breathtaking Victoria Falls and on thrilling safaris across Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia. I’m excited to witness Africa’s incredible wildlife firsthand and share our experiences with you. Our journey will culminate with four days of exploration in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. I’ll do my best to post updates along the way, but please bear with me if they’re a bit sporadic. I’ll be out in the bush where Wi-Fi is hard to come by!

New Book Release: It’s Just sMiles

I have some exciting news on the literary front, too! I’m thrilled to announce the publication of my next book: It’s Just sMiles: Just Pete on the Camino de Santiago. This book will take you on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Camino de Santiago while exploring the transformative power of a simple smile.

The Camino is a pilgrimage like no other, and I can’t wait to share the stories, lessons, and unforgettable moments from this remarkable adventure. I hope to have it published in the second half of the year. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the release date!

Another Adventure: The Florida Trail Awaits

For those of you who have been following my adventures, you know I’m always looking for the next big challenge. In early January, I’ll be trading the mountains and bears of the Appalachian Trail for the swamps and gators of the Florida Trail.

This 1,400-mile trek will take me from the Everglades to Pensacola, navigating through Florida’s diverse landscapes and ecosystems. It will be a completely different challenge from anything I’ve done before, and I’d love for you to join me along the way as I explore the wild beauty of the Florida Trail. As I go, I’ll share my experiences, lessons, and stories from the trail, so don’t miss out.

Stay tuned for more updates and stories as we embark on these exciting adventures together. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me, and I can’t wait to share every moment with you.

Here’s to an extraordinary year ahead!

Happy Trails!

Just Pete

  3. Wow!!! I think you have found your calling and I feel privileged to be able to watch and learn from you as you share with us your experiences. Your messages from past explorations were something I always look forward to receiving and these new experiences will undoubtedly allow us to continue to learn from your travels.

    What have made your postings so interesting is we not only learn more about another part of our world but you thoughts and insights bring more meaning to the importance of your experiences.

    I also look forward to your next book as I thought your last book was less about the travels but more about lesson in life. These new travels will undoubtably permit you to continue to show us how life experiences can help us learn some valuable lessons.

  4. Jeff,

    Cheryl and I spent 20 days in Africa this past January and it was the trip of our life time. We started in Cape Town and ended with safaris in Kruger National Park. Great food, great wine, and lots of sightseeing, including being up and personal with lions, leopards and elephants.
