I didn't grow up with access to the outdoorsy and never identified as "outdoorsy" until I went on my first backpacking trip in my 20s. Now, I love exploring the outdoors whenever I can: skiing, climbing, paddling, backpacking diverse terrain or even trail-running occasionally. I consider myself an intermediate outdoorswoman, but love to share the knowledge I've acquired over the years and meet other women who want to get outside and try new adventures!
