Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m Madison, the face behind this blog.

By Madison Marie is a blend of travel, running, and faith. My hope for this blog is to inspire others to seek Jesus and experience His love for us.

I have been blessed to travel to various parts of the world. I believe travel is not just about ticking off places on a bucket list; it’s about immersing yourself in different cultures, embracing diversity, and experiencing God’s beauty.

Running is also a passion of mine. Like travel, it is a way of connecting to myself and the world around me. I was a collegiate runner for six years, so running has been a major part of my life.

I have experienced God’s love and beauty firsthand and hope my faith journey positively impacts and brings people to Jesus.

Thank you for being here. Happy reading!
