I am a mother and wife and a professional and I love all things outdoors and all things travel. I started backpacking with my son when he was 7 doing weekend trips twice a year. When he was 17 we hiked the JMT together. I have done many trips since then and backpack solo at times. I also love to travel with 39 states and 21 countries under my belt. I love experiencing new places and meeting strangers.
