Hey, I'm Tom. I'm a 19 year old thru-hiker from the UK. I originally grew up in Hong Kong and am now studying in the UK. Whilst I've thru hiked multiple trails before, this year is the first time I'm attempting a high route. I'll be attempting the Pyrenean Haute Route, going from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
