Hi I'm Megan! I'm a recent college grad thru hiking the CDT SOBO with my girlfriend this summer. I'm from Illinois originally, I went to college in Vermont, I studied abroad in South America for a year, and soon I'll be high up on the Continental Divide. I'm a lover of all things outdoors, including plunging into freezing water, stand up paddle boarding, biking long distances, and of course walking as far as my legs can take me. I can't wait to share my journey on the CDT!
