Hi there, nice to meet ya — we are Ditte & Benjamin! A Danish couple with an insatiable lust for traveling, life, and the outdoors. We're embarking on our life’s biggest adventure, Chasing Endless Horizons, which includes thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. As part of The Trek 2026 Blogger Team we’ve been given the honor of sharing our raw, real, and awesome moments before, during, and after the PCT with you guys. We sincerely hope you’ll want to tag along this journey with us. Well, we guess all there is left to say is that we hope to see you at the Southern Terminus, somewhere on or around the trail, or elsewhere in the big wide world! Happy hiking y'all!
