Welcome! I'm Sandra Friend, and since you've stopped by, you've probably read one of my books or articles. I'm known as Florida's hiking expert, thanks to more than 2,000 miles of trekking the Sunshine State and eight books reviewing our trails, plus a popular website for Florida hikers. I'm also a leading authority on Florida travel, and write about history and earth science as well.

I'm a member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW), the American Journalists and Authors Association (ASJA), the Florida Outdoor Writers Association (FOWA), and the Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), and do public speaking.
