I am super excited to be part of program where I can pair my passion
with a purpose. I have a great love of almost any outdoor activity, but my real
passion is hiking, whether it be a day hike or a backpacking trip. I have hiked
in France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Dominica, The Tetons and Yellowstone.
And…yes, several sections of the Appalchian Trail where I have had such
memorable adventures which are directly connected to the culture and people of
the trail. It is a community of very diverse people, those who are seeking, in
transition, and those who are simply using their passion to grow and redefine
themselves.
I am excited to hopefully partner with my friend Elizabeth,
who has successfully integrated a yoga club as an extra curricular in one of
our local high schools. How great would it be to offer Yoga Hiking alongside
educating high school students in hiking principles, the Appalachian Trail and
the opportunity to experience hiking. I look forward to brainstorming and
planning at the summer conference as a way to bring the Appalachian Trail to
our beautiful coastal community.
