I would rather watch a sunset than TV.

A lot of people talk about the trail healing them, but I feel like, the first time, it humbled me, which I probably needed. It was a completely new way to experience the world and my body.

Our bodies are made to move, and moving down the trail is one of the oldest, natural ways people have used their bodies.

I know that I was hiking at a very young age because I remember being convinced that it was the trees that were talking.

Writing is one of the main ways that I process the experience.

Something deep within me connected with hard work, nature and simplicity.

One thing I think I've always felt about being in nature is that it's a very natural taste.
