Myrtis Gasse
Hey everyone! I‘m Myrtis from Germany, my trailname is „Joker“ and I am addicted to those long trails in the USA! Me and „Red Man“ started the PCT in 2019, did the CDT in 2022 and the AZT and the missing PCT-parts in 2025. After not killing each other on the CDT, we even decided to marry. At the moment we are hiking the AT and I want to share our adventures and thoughts with you! Happy trails!
