Future Adventures, and Future Blog Posts

Dear Readers,

Thank you for following my adventures on the PCT! I so enjoyed sharing my stories with you. 

Since reality and responsibilities are calling me back to a life with a little normalcy, I don’t have another long trail planned and I won’t be continuing to blog for The Trek. That said, I’m never still for long, so grand adventures, foreign travel and cultural experiences will again be in my future. In the few years before hiking the PCT, I served in the United States Peace Corps, backpacked around South America, worked and volunteered in a lot of odd jobs and lived with a variety of families, taught English, and blogged about all my crazy adventures along my journey. Now that I finished the PCT, I’m moving to Denver. Beyond that, we’ll see where the wind takes me. 

If you liked reading my PCT stories, enjoying the photos, and would like to get updates and interesting posts from around the world, be sure to check-out and subscribe to my personal blog at:

I look forward to having you by my side as I live my life… well, on the wing.

Becky Wandell's Bio

Hi, I’m Becky, a teacher, writer and curious explorer of the world. From the earliest age I was always happiest when I was camping, but it wasn’t until my 20’s, when I started backpacking in the Pacific Northwest, that I found my soul. For thirty years since then, I have dreamed of seeing the PCT from end to end. After a side jaunt into the Peace Corps serving in Ecuador and the past five years living, working and tramping around South America, I’ve gained my confidence, my ability to sleep anywhere and deal with anything that comes my way. I’m ready. But during my trek, I want to acknowledge the enormous privilege, resources and support I have to start at the US Mexican border and be willingly homeless for six months while I wander the desert and mountains of my country. In an attempt to acknowledge my fortune and do good in the world, I’d like to dedicate this journey to the migrants who struggle to cross the Mexican border every day. While I have a fancy backpack filled with resources, they depend upon the kindness of others. If you would like to help provide resources to their plight, consider donating to Border Angels, a non-profit organization helping care for migrants along the California/ Mexican border. My “tip” button will take you directly to their website. Thank you for your consideration! Now, 2024 is my year on the PCT. Won’t you join me on this grand adventure?
