Help me thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 2023!!
My Travel Story
HI, and thanks for visiting!!
This trip would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to test my physical, and mental endurance while hiking the 2190+ miles of the Appalacian Trail. Through this hike, I hope to find a better understanding of myself, and the world around me as to what is really important, and what I truly want/need to be happy. I have had issues with anxiety, depression and bouts with PTSD from past emotional traumas. Nearly everyone who completes this trek finds the peace within themselves to continue on to great things afterward. I'm hoping this will do the same for me. This will truly be a life-changing adventure.
This has been a dream of mine since childhood, and at age 48, it's time to make it happen!
Plans as of now are to attempt the hike from Late March/Early April 2023 at Springer Mountain, Georgia and end sometime in October that same year at Mt. Katahdin, Maine.
I will be vlogging the experience via youtube. I will update this with the youtube channel once I have created it and begin posting my training videos.
