Matt Willen is a writer, explorer, and photographer. He spends much of his time exploring little-known and remote places around the globe, most recently in areas above 50°N and below 50°S latitude. Matt is also the author of 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Harrisburg and Best Tent Camping: Pennsylvania (both published by Menasha Ridge Press). He divides his time seasonally between Pennsylvania, where he can often be found trekking and skiing around the woods, and Nova Scotia, where he spends much of his time exploring the Atlantic coast by sea kayak. When he isn't out in the field, he enjoys playing his guitar and mandolin, taking photographs, reading and writing, and cooking interesting dishes. He has two teenage boys, whose company he enjoys most of all.
