Welcome to Handcrafted Adventure!
At Handcrafted Adventure, we believe that life is an adventure at any age. Whether you’re in your midlife and ready to explore a whole new chapter or simply seeking ways to live a more fulfilling and active life, we’re here to guide and inspire you every step of the way.
Life is a journey—one that’s full of new opportunities, challenges, and adventures. It’s not about your age, but about embracing each stage of life with curiosity, excitement, and a spirit of adventure. From hiking scenic trails to prioritizing wellness and personal growth, we’re committed to helping you live the life you’ve always imagined.
We are Tom and Krista—empty nesters reinventing ourselves and embracing all that life has to offer. Tom’s journey took a turn after he underwent two hip replacements in 2020, and Krista’s story took another exciting turn when she went back to school in her 50s to become a radiologic technologist, graduating in 2024. We’ve learned that reinvention is possible at any age and that embracing change can lead to a more fulfilling, adventurous life.
Handcrafted Adventure is about practical, inspiring, and thoughtful content that empowers those who are ready to start fresh, explore new territories, and lead a healthier, more adventurous lifestyle. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but starting a new chapter is often the most exciting and rewarding experience.
