Hello, I’m Linda
I’m a couch potato turned peak bagger. A lifelong sedentary city dweller, I caught the hiking bug in 2015. A year later, I went on my first backpacking trip in Sequoia National Park & have not stopped planning my next adventure trip ever since. I started this blog to share my favorite destinations, training hikes to get my body in shape, as well as healthy recipes I eat to fuel my adventures.
