Jamie Honderich, a.k.a. Hondo, isn’t the kind of person to sit around. So when it came time to ponder his ‘freedom 55’ retirement plan following his career as a geography teacher at Huntsville High School, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.<\/p>\n

“I promised myself that if it\u2019s not outside, I\u2019m not doing it,” he says of his post-retirement life coming at the end of January. “I\u2019m not counting down and it’s more of a transition than retirement. I love what I do but I\u2019m excited for this.” This <\/em>is Find Your Wild, an outdoor-based adventure programs company that Hondo created to share his love for the outdoors.<\/p>\n

In many ways it’s a natural extension of what he’s been doing, what he’s always done. In addition to classroom teaching, Hondo has also run school eco programs. He’s been a coach and a mentor. He’s been a wolf and cougar researcher. And he spends as much time outside as he can, always.<\/p>\n

Find Your Wild will mostly use wilderness as it presents itself and give people “the chance to explore easily accessible wild space,” says Hondo.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
