Always moving…
Can anyone share in the excitement that builds in your mind when thinking about adventure and new hiking trips?
It has gotten to the point that if I have important deadlines to meet, I allow myself time to ponder about hiking and such nonsense only as a treat for finishing my tasks. Nothing has ever motivated me more! Read More
So I had a boyfriend, once upon a time. Many moons ago. Still single AF now…but anyways, haha.
He wanted to go on vacation with me, but back then I was a very different gal than I am now. I knew nothing about this word, “vacation,” and it actually gave me anxiety since it was something totally out of my comfort zone (all our vacation as a child fell through). Read More
So let me just start by saying that I had NO camping experience, much less backpacking experience. In fact, in preparation for this trip, I went on ONE hike that was about seven miles long and just a couple hundred feet in elevation. That is it. Read More
So I am planning for another trip to Havasupai as well as other backpacking trips, like Channel Islands. My goal is to eventually translate these experience into blog posts, but until then, I decided that since I have been recollecting my gear list and food list as of late, I shall post them here.

Before August 2016, I had NO EXPERIENCE either hiking, camping, or backpacking. To be clear, I think I had gone on one local hike earlier that summer, I went camping when I was a little girl, but I do not remember any of it, and that is about it. But just to be even more clear, I DID NOT FORGET A SINGLE THING, or at least anything to make me regret it. I think I may NOT have used just two items as well.
So in my research for the PCT, and in my ventures to Havasupai, I realized that if I wanted to make my own stories out in the backcountry, or even camping, I would need my own backpacking stove. Read More
I did it.
I bought boots! And they are gorgeous!!
I was first inspired to buy boots because of my Havasupai Trip and feeling like I needed that extra ankle support in the rocky/sandy terrain. But I really did not know what to buy because of course there is a HUGE selection and it drives me crazy! Read More
