Im Siobhan. But feel free to call me by my trail name, Drop Bear. Ive been feeding a severe hiking addiction since my 2015 AT thru hike. Since then Ive hiked Americas Centennial, Northville Placid, Arizona and Long Trails and Australias Bibbulmun Track and Great Ocean Walk. In 2017, I got a taste of hiking failure after 700 or so miles on the PCT. With all that cacti and cowboy camping it was the most fun Ive ever had not achieving something. Theres not enough time left in my life to hike all the trails on my list. But Im going to try.

Defying the odds on the Great Ocean Walk
Big sky, wild coastline and quiet forest on Australia's Great Ocean Walk. There are things that can kill you too. But they probably won't.
