Hi, everyone! Glowstick here, a 2018 Appalachian Trail (NoBo) thru-hiker. You could call it the "seven year itch" - after almost seven years working a desk job in our nation's capital, I decided to leave my (great) job and head out into the wilds to reconnect with nature and have a great adventure. When I'm not hiking (or working, of course), I can usually be found at the climbing gym, a music festival, daydreaming about my next big trip, or wandering about with a large cup of coffee (caffeine addict right here). Future ambitions include hiking the PCT, learning to mountaineer, and maybe adopting dog. :)
