Hiking

One of my biggest passions is being outdoors, so I tend to spend most of my long weekends and holidays camping, hiking or going on backpacking trips. No doubt it comes from growing up in the Pacific Northwest - my dad took me on my first hike when I was just 6 months old in Alaska (you can blame the hiking obsession on him). During my travels, I've been really lucky to visit some truly spectacular places, from Patagonia to Hokkaido to Mt. Fuji. Below you can find all of my hiking posts, organized by location.
