Aloha! My name is Alli and I am a beginner thru-hiker. As a former collegiate runner and current full-time speech therapist, I spend my free time exploring and staying active. I enjoy trash reality TV, trying different brands of boxed mac n cheese, and sending lengthy voice memos to my long-distance friends. I am from the east coast (I love New Jersey... the only people that say that are from New Jersey) but have been living on the west coast (Hawaii and Washington) for the past 5 years. Join me as I take baby steps into the thru-hiking world and one day complete the Pacific Crest Trail. You can also follow along with me on Instagram.
