We are who we are. Unique. Just like everyone else. Why we do the things we do, no one will know, but we do it anyway. Me? I've traversed over the rocky ridges of the San Andreas Fault, sweated up and down the steep hills that litter Italy and Germany, scaled snow covered cliffs abundant in the Balkans, and patrolled the crummy rock mountains of Afghanistan. After all that, I all but swore that I would never do anything resembling a hike ever again. But here I am, in a hiker's paradise, and I'm bringing you along for the ride.
