Additive Adventure

What is additive adventure? Majka Burhardt made it up. But she's betting you might live your life in a quest for the same--when adventure goes beyond exploration and toward cultural and environmental connection. "Additive Adventure" tracks Majka's forays into the greater world while she asks for the linkages between...everything. Read Majka's stories of the far afield and track how she brings them close to home every other Friday, or on her website, http://www.majkaburhardt.com.

The Rebirth of Slick


Three weeks from today, I’ll be flying to Ethiopia. I’ve been training for trip. I’ve been aqua jogging.

Actually, I just had to stop aqua jogging. I was over-training with the 12”-wide water-flotation device. In my defense, I was just trying to keep up with Astrid, the 65-year old woman with a hip and knee replacement. At 33 with two back surgeries, I was eating her aquatic dust. It’s a good thing I’ve finally been cleared to go back to climbing. It’s about time—East Africa is looming close.

The Ballad You Forgot


A blog in conjunction with Osprey Packs.

Let’s get this out of the way. I was 8. I made bad choices like singing Don’t Fence Me In at my father’s second wedding and lying down on the carpet in the school loft; I had bad choices foisted upon me, like a two-inch buzz cut—billed as a smart fashion move with the added benefit of being easier to treat lice (the loft). No wonder I felt sorry for the people in Ethiopia.

Me, as a Dot


I have no idea who the people are who will change my life in the next two years. I had no idea, two years ago, that a woman making a spontaneous stop in a Patagonia store in California would change mine now. Susanne Conrad caught a glimpse of a tall hardbound book called Vertical Ethiopia . I’d written it, but that didn’t matter to her, then. Ethiopia mattered.
