Hola! My name’s Heather (Trail name ‘Daya’) and I’m a sweet and sassy blend of global traveling yoga teacher meets Hiker Trash. I’ve hiked mucho miles in Nepal, India, Morocco, SE Asia, Central/ South America, and Europe. I’ve also probably eaten just as much ice cream as I’ve walked miles. I thru-hiked the AT in 2016 and I’m stoked to be hiking the PCT this year! Read more about me and my writing at: www.wanderyoga.com
