              Note from the founder:

 

The concept for New Trailblazers came from my own quest for inspiration and a desire to live more fully. On my journey I found that I am most inspired by visionary people who have taken leaps of faith and ventured into un-chartered territories to pursue their passions. They are the New Trailblazers of our time.

 

This venue features their stories and interviews which primarily focus on inspired travel and creative enterprise to inspire and ignite the adventurous spirit in us all.  - Stacy Matthews

 

 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things

you didn’t do than the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.  Dream.  Discover.

 

- Mark Twain

 

 

 

 

 

 

The New Trailblazers team is dedicated to producing quality writing and rich visual imagery to give life to our features.

Original definition of a Trailblazer:

 

1. One who blazes a trail. 2. A pioneer in any field.

 

Definition of a New Trailblazer:

 

1. A dreamer and a seeker.

2. One who can visualize their desired outcome.

3. One who listens to their inner voice and takes the next indicated step.

4. One who doesn’t allow fear to stand in the way of their goals and dreams.

5. Looks to seasoned trailblazers for inspiration to stay on their path.

6. Open to the possibilities that come from venturing into new territories.

7. One who takes leaps of faith and inspires others to do the same.
