I'm trading vanlife for trail life earlier than planned. A series of life events (getting laid off, landing sponsors) means that this April-October, I’ll be tackling my biggest adventure yet: thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail!

Luckily, I’m being supported by Big Agnes and Ridge Merino. As their 2026 PCT thru-hiker, they’re setting me up with some gear and clothes. The timing is still tight and the savings account isn't where I'd hoped, but some dreams just can’t wait… so I’m going for it anyway. 

As I walk home over 2,653 miles (4,269 kilometers), I’ll be sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between right here and over on Instagram. If you want to fuel this adventure with a coffee (or a town day meal), I'd be incredibly grateful.
