Hi there, we’re Tara and Eric, the faces behind Back Road Ramblers.
Back Road Ramblers provides practical, in-depth travel itineraries, small-town destination ideas, and insanely easy ways to get outside.
Our goal is to inspire our readers to explore new destinations by highlighting the unique qualities of our favorite places. We want to emphasize that travel doesn’t have to be perfect, expensive, or life-changing. Small journeys can be as adventurous as the big ones!
We started Back Road Ramblers in 2015 with no intention of turning it into a business. Apparently, our readers had other plans. Today, Back Road Ramblers reaches more than 100,000 followers through our website, social media, and email newsletter.

Meet Our Readers
Most Back Road Ramblers readers are residents of the United States. 60% are female, and most are between the ages of 35 and 55.
Our typical reader is a woman who is married with children or transitioning to empty nesting. She’s interested in hiking, photography, the outdoors, sustainable travel, and unique accommodations in beautiful places. She most often travels with a companion or her family, but she is not opposed to the occasional solo getaway.
- Our readers are not frivolous with their money, but they are willing to splurge on experiences that will inspire them to live their lives more fully.
- When our readers discover brands they love, they will be forever loyal, especially if the brand aligns with their personal values regarding sustainability, equality, and ethical travel.
- Our readers don’t want to rush through their vacation. Instead, they are interested in slow travel and fully immersing themselves in a destination.
- Our readers aren’t necessarily interested in the top tourist attractions. They want unique experiences and accommodations that they won’t be able to find anywhere else.
