Jessica Luty

My name is Jess. I hail from Florida. I'm a chronic nose picker. I don’t like using soap. 3 cats call me mom. Sometimes I read books. I like all things peanut butter. I have a shy exterior and I think I might suffer from resting bitch face. I have a knack for being too honest and sharing more information than is necessary. I’m also a bit random at times. The main reason I am hiking the Appalachian Trail is because it’s a good excuse to not have to shave my legs for 6 months. Okay, maybe that part is not true but it’s certainly a perk! I caught the hiking bug back in 2015 and shortly thereafter began section hiking the AT. Every time I leave the trail it calls me back again. It recently occurred to me that I spent the better part of my 20s in a cubical and that I have not lived the way my soul yearns to. This year I turned 30 and I decided to give myself the gift of the ultimate adventure. It all starts with my flip-flop thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Join me as I wonder into the woods.
