I’ve spent two decades of my life dedicated to the pursuit of exploring the world on foot. Thru-hiking has been an invaluable, immersive experience for me in this pursuit.
When I set out from Springer Mountain in May of 2003, I had no idea what I was doing.
I learned nearly everything through trial and error and asking others. It was a difficult and time consuming process. Which is why I am offering a limited number of 1 on 1 Mentorships.
My hope is that by working with prospective hikers, I can answer questions and guide them through the planning phase so that they hit the trail ready for their journey.
