"I started backpacking in 2017 and fell in love with it on the North Country Trail. I attempted the PCT in 2019 but broke my foot in the Sierras after over 800 miles on trail. In 2021 I returned to the southern terminus and hiked to Canada on the PCT, completing my first thru hike. The CDT is the next big trail on my radar but will probably do something a little shorter first!"
