Joey Ferguson

I’m living proof you can walk through fire and find joy on the other side. After my AT thru-hike in 2018, I was forced to reinvent myself and my life. Now I travel, write, hike, and backpack, splitting time between vanlife and home in Colorado. I thru-hiked the epic Colorado Trail in 2023 and have big plans for more adventures. Follow along here and on YouTube @JoyfulRambler.
