Welcome friends!For as long as I've known, I've had a childlike curiosity and pull toward the outdoors. My love for the outdoors led me to studying abroad in New Zealand 2020. I was exposed to a really cool culture of people that shared my same values and passions for nature. After being sent home early due to COVID, I basically used all my quarantine time and thereafter to research the A.T. extensively. I've known for a long time that I would end up doing something like this, and it's been falling into place for some time now. <3Fun facts about me: I grew up on a Christmas tree farm, I'm vegan, and my goal career is to work as a therapist at a wilderness therapy program! Love cookies, podcasts, and learning about holistic healing.My partner and I are gearing up to take off on our AT NOBO starting March 2022. I can't wait to share our experiences, stories, and photos with you! Thanks for joining along. <3
