I believe that to chart a path forward, you need to pay attention to where you’ve been. And over the past year of hitting the trails, these feet carried me to a LOT of places. 

The best part? So many different types of adventures filled these hikes…from solo treks to girls trips, to hiking through the swampy tropics in the Caribbean, to snowy hikes and almost falling on my face coming down the icy trails of Hawksbill.
