She Goes Outside was born from a simple belief: that fresh air, good company, and a gentle trail can change everything.
JoAnne has always believed that the outdoors should feel welcoming — not intimidating. After years of wishing there was a group for women who loved nature and exploring but didn't consider themselves athletes, she decided to create one herself.
She Goes Outside grew out of JoAnne's personal conviction that mid-life and beyond is the perfect time to discover (or rediscover) the joy of being outside. Whether it's a slow bike ride past a lavender farm or sipping tea while watching herons on a quiet lake, she plans every event with intention, warmth, and a little bit of wonder.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, JoAnne knows every scenic byway, hidden trailhead, and exceptional local bakery in the region — and she cannot wait to share them with you.
