Starlight

I’m Starlight, and my life is full of success… depending on your definition. I’m halfway through my twenties, no kids or marriage (yet), and a college dropout. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2024 & will be hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2026. My definition of success is joy, and I’ve found it. If that resonates with you, follow along with me on my adventures & subscribe to my blog for updates!
