About Me

My name is Alayna and if you are here, you have found my blog! Welcome! I created this as a place to share my thoughts, experiences, and the things that make me excited. Whether it’s stories from everyday life, the projects I’m working on, or the lessons I’ve learned along the way, this blog is my little corner of the internet that I get to share with everyone.

Alayna, why did you name your blog Fifty Pound Biceps?

Good question! I was joking with some friends that I plan to gain 50lbs in exclusively my biceps while in Antarctica. It turns out I don’t have as much free time as anticipated, and I cannot spend 5 hours lifting weights daily. When I was thinking about potential blog names a coworker suggested “fifty pound biceps” and it stuck – shout out Kazner.

Alayna, why did you reaaallly start a blog?

Ah, another good question. I was initially exploring ways to earn a little extra money to help fuel my adventures and maybe even make some income while traveling. But I ultimately started a blog to capture memories, tips, and stories from past and current trips.

Alayna, what is your life goal?

To have a corn maze, Christmas tree farm, small organic farm, and small event space in upstate New York. I wasn’t born to climb the corporate ladder unfortunately.
