I’m a 28 year old thru hiker who has walked over 12,000 miles. I embarked on my first thru hike back in 2017 in between semesters of college; hiking 1300 miles of the PCT. Then in 2022 I went back and hiked the entire PCT again. The following year in 2023 I hiked the entire 5,600 mile eastern continental trail. Which stretches from Key West, Florida all the way to Newfoundland, Canada. When I completed that trek I became the 2nd woman in history to hike the entire trail. This year in 2024 I completed the Continental Divide Trail, completing my thru hiking “Triple Crown”. In 2025 I have plans to do an even more ambitious hike, and blog along the way!
