Hi y'all! My name is Olivia, trail name : EAGLE EYE. I am part of the PCT c/o 2023 starting in early April with my husband, Martin, and our good friend Jeremy #tramily. The three of us have section hiked the AT (Georgia and parts of North Carolina) and we recently road tripped out west to complete the Cirque of the Towers Loop in gorgeous Wyoming as part of our training for the Pacific Crest Trail. I come from the land of sweet tea, peaches, yes ma'am, and the home of the reigning, defending, back-to-back college football national champions the GEORGIA BULLDOGS (you can probably catch all of us supporting our dawgs out on trail). I am obsessed with the show Survivor, sour gummy straws, stickers and of course backpacking. I am really looking forward to a experiencing a new climate, terrain, and gathering a better understanding and appreciation for the flora and fauna that the trail provides. I am excited to put a pause on my current life and ready to hit play on this new adventure. Hope yall enjoy the journey :)
