Oh, hai + welcome! I’m Heidi, the face + voice behind the vast majority of the stories you’ll find here on Heidi Kumm // Oversharing Life. I live in the Rocky Mountains in a little tourist town surrounded by bustling ski resorts, rugged mountain peaks + endless miles of dirt ribbon trails. This is my happy place, yet I’m only here about 6 months out of the year. I spend my summers roaming the world on foot, by train or in my car. This is usually where my most exciting stories come from. My winters are spent working as an EMT at a ski resort emergency room + getting to know the mountains in my backyard.
You’ll find stories about the time I spend on the trails, adventures I encounter while traveling, my attempts at ultra training + tangents outlining my thoughts on life. You will *not* find very much useful information about baking pies, brewing kombucha, fermenting sourdough or growing herbs…although lately I’ve been doing all of those things, too! So, stick around + read a bit. If you come up with any questions find me on Instagram + send over a DM! Happy wandering!

I wore a puffy jacket this morning…with a summery dress + sandals. I guess that means it’s August in the mountains? Maybe we’ll actually get some fall weather this year? Chilly mornings + steamy afternoons…ah, Read more…
Last year I took on the Colorado Six Pack of Peaks Challenge…but failed at completing it. I did spend time in the mountains + I did explore some new-to-me trails, but I didn’t get up Read more…
Okay…full disclosure, this is going to be raw + real. I’m going to throw all my feelings into words via my abused keyboard + then I’m going to hit publish. No editing, no sleeping on Read more…
