My Name is Naomi. I’m an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker. Born and raised in Southern California. Spent family vacations exploring the western half of the U.S. growing my love for the outdoors in places like Tahoe, Big Bear, and Joshua Tree among other awesome places. I’m now on the East Coast of Virginia, a Navy Veteran, artist, mom of two teens, sharing this life with my Husband and three dogs, still trying to do all the exploring I can.
