I was diagnosed with an incurable disease in late 2024, and after a year of intense treatment, loss of mobility, strength, and the ability to carry any weight on my shoulders or back, I'm reevaluating how to continue moving forward in nature and in life. 

​

Writing has helped me process a lot of this life-changing experience, and it has brought me peace and helped grow and strengthen my community.

​

In my current adventure, I will continue to write my way through this new reality, and devote time to finding ways to hike without a pack like I did on the 170-mile Portuguese Camino in September of 2025.

Please join me in this writing journey through my hiking blog or on substack.
