How do you begin to tell the story of the adventure that changed your life? I guess with the first step.
In March of 2023, I took my first steps on the Appalachian Trail. A 2,198.4 mile footpath from Georgia to Maine.
After 6 years of planning, obsessing, and dreaming I was finally following the iconic white blazes down the trail.
I always knew in my heart that thru hiking the AT would irrevocably change my life, but I had no idea the extent that I would evolve.
The trail provides. I walked away with the best of friends who gave me my faith back in humanity. On Day 5, I climbed up a mountain behind the person who would become my adventure partner. The trail gave me the best version of myself. It broke my heart and fixed it too.
Because of the Appalachian Trail, I will never be the same and yet, I am still just the girl who dreamed of tapping white blazes.
I climbed that goddamn mountain and then some. Til’ the next one ❤️
