Hello, I’m excited you found my page on the Trek! I’m a 23-year-old Hiker/ Surfer. I fell in love with hiking at a young age after a hike in the Smokies. I hiked MT Whitney and Rim to Rim as a teenager. I’ve recently been pulled into the long-distance hiking world. I’ve been working seasonal jobs and doing #vanlife (I know so cliche) the past 2 years. I just finished the Benton Mackaye Trail. My summer plans include the Oregon Coast Trail and the Colorado Trail. I really enjoy sharing my thoughts and Photos with you all!
