About ME

Hi! I'm Melissa

Join me as I tackle breathtaking trails, tackle challenging hikes, and immerse myself in the beauty of nature through backpacking trips and travel experiences. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just starting to discover the great outdoors, I hope to inspire you to step outside and embark on your own journeys!

I grew up in a rural area and took for granted the beauty around me until I moved to more urban areas after college. Since then, I have been progressively looking for more and more ways to get outdoors and challenge myself. I’ve done short and long backpacking trips, ultra marathons, and have paddle boarded in multiple states. I’ve also gotten lost on trail, hiked miles in the dark, and woke up to frozen water bottles and filters.

I’ve learned a few things on my adventures and am I excited to share my experiences for better or worse with you all!
