Several years ago, A career-obsessed GIRL FROM NYC WALks onto a trail in thE adiRondacks…

Little did she know, Her life Would never be the same again.

Yes, this girl is me.

Although growing up I had spent blissful summers with my grandparents in the Pocono mountains, and later on, in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire running around the woods and boating on Lake Wentworth, the majority of my early 20’s was spent in the suburbs and cities. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, I had been unknowingly craving something else. My soul was transformed and my spirit was reignited after that July 2017 day on Bald Mountain in Old Forge, NY.

My Instagram account started out for me as a place to share some “cool mountain photos” I had taken that summer; little did I know it would evolve into a place for me to write and share my honest experiences as I navigate trails locally and globally.

I am a full-time student of life, part-time traveler, and forever a nature lover. I live to learn and soak in all that the world has to offer and am energized by challenges and new experiences. I am constantly learning by doing and reading - whether it’s embarking on a solo hike or thoroughly researching my next trail or country to visit.

I hope you enjoy my trip itineraries, trail reports, and perspective.

Reach out to me with feedback, questions, or stories - I would love to hear from you.

See you out there! - Jen

PS: I should add that I am still career-obsessed living in NYC; however, now I am equally as obsessed with hiking and exploring the world…
