Welcome to our world of letters.

Inspired by a love of beauty, A Shared Sojourn is the meandering ramblings of two best friends. A blog to tell the tales of life’s adventures in the mountains, inspirations in nature, and reflections in literature. 

Hi, we’re Lainey and Hilary the friends behind A Shared Sojourn. Having met many moons ago in, of course, our very first Freshman Lit Class. From galavanting around England and walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, to ski bumming in Colorado, Hilary and Lainey have stuck together, learning a little about the world, and a lot about each other, friendship, womanhood, and themselves. 

Now Lainey lives in Bend, Oregon, and Hilary down in Dillon, Colorado; so, our large adventures only happen from time to time. This is a collection of letters to each other allowing us to connect and reveal in those daily adventures that so easily slip away. Whether it’s learning something new on our local mountain bike trail, or a realization reading Annie Dillard, or even making the perfect cup of tea, these small things create life. Join the community as we share these letters with you.
