I am an environmental research scientist, currently based in Cape Town, South Africa. I grew up hiking, climbing, and canyoning in Australia's Blue Mountains. In a moment of inspiration - or madness, depending who you ask - my partner and I decided to hike the PCT in 2019. It was the most outrageous and life-changing adventure I could have hoped for.
