Welcome to NeuroExploring!
f you’ve ever felt like the world moves too fast, expects too much, or wasn’t built with you in mind — or if you’ve found yourself Googling “how to survive travel without a meltdown” at 2AM — you’re in good company. That was me at 2AM… and somewhere between panic-searching, overthinking, and hundreds of open tabs, this blog was born.
My name is Christine. I’m autistic, ADHD and have PTSD, and I’ve spent a lifetime learning how to navigate a world that often feels overwhelming. I’ve learned how to carve out spaces where I can breathe, grow, and thrive— and I’m still figuring it out as I explore, get lost, overthink, overpack, and somehow end up having a blast anyway.
NeuroExploring is for autistic, ADHD, sensory-sensitive, and otherwise brilliantly wired brains who love the idea of adventure — just not the chaos that usually comes with it. I’m here sharing what’s actually helped me: real-life tips, stories, and favorite finds for traveling, exploring, and living life in a way that works for our brains, not against them. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, a parent, a teacher, or just curious to learn, I hope you’ll find something here that feels like a breath of fresh air.
Because let’s be real:
Travel advice for “just go with the flow” or ”we’ll figure it out we get there” people doesn’t work for us.
We need plans, back-up plans, and back-up plans for the back-up plans.
Here you’ll find:
- 🧳 Packing guides that actually make sense for sensory needs (and executive dysfunction days)
- 🚗 Travel ideas for adventures that won’t leave you drained for a week afterward
- 🛶 Outdoor activities like hiking, paddleboarding, and nature escapes that feel GOOD, not overwhelming
- 🧠 Tips, tricks, and checklists made for brains that need a little extra structure or comfort
- 💬 Real talk from someone who’s autistic, ADHD, and totally done with pretending travel has to be stressful
Why NeuroExploring? Because adventure should be accessible, sensory-friendly, and designed for how YOUR brain works — not some imaginary “normal.”
