About Me

"I love going on an adventure and then telling you about it."

Jane V. Blanchard is the author of the Woman on Her Way series. Her books describe hiking adventures. She enjoys biking and hiking and, over her lifetime, climbed twenty of the forty 4,000-foot mountains in New England. She retired in 2011 to walk 500 miles on the Camino de Santiago in Spain—her first long walk. Women of the Way: Embracing the Camino mingles Jane's personal story with conversations with other modern-day female pilgrims on the Camino. Jane shares her discoveries along the 84-mile path across northern England in her award-winning Hadrian's Wall Path: Walking into History. Her other award-winning book, Camino Tips, How to get the most out of The Way, helps pilgrims plan, enjoy, and get the most out of their journey.

Jane has always been adventuresome, building a log cabin with her husband and living off the grid, working a gentleman's farm, hiking the peaks of New England, and racing mountain bikes in her 50s. Since retiring in 2011, she has visited sixteen countries by foot and bicycle and written two books about her wanderings. In addition to traveling, writing, and publishing, Jane enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, and spending time with friends and family.

As a septuagenarian, Jane continues to plan backpacking trips and write books.
