Iโm a Certified Professional Coach who fell in love with backpacking after walking over 1,300 miles of the Appalachian Trail and now help others experience the wonder of living and traveling in the great outdoors.
I genuinely believe the more savvy hikers there are out on the trails, the safer and better off we’ll all be.
