About SARA!

Hey there, I'm Sara, 19 years old and from Long Island, NY. I have wanted thru-hike the Appalachian Trail ever since I was young. I spent a lot of my childhood camping as a Girl Scout, and the summers at camp, enjoying the simpler things in life. Nature and companionship. Hiking the trail, for me, is all about getting back to those values. It is about wanting and needing less. It is about doing what makes me happy, even if it isn't considered normal by traditional societal standards. This journey is extremely important to me, and I am very grateful to be sharing the experience with Max.

I am very bad at writing this sort of thing, and I'm going to leave it at that.

Much love,
Sara

About Max!

Maxwell is the name, and I'm a pretty average outdoorsy person. Im turning 21 very soon and unfortunately have very few life experiences. I was born and raised in upstate New York in the small town of Poughkeepsie just 20 minutes away from lake Minowaska near New Paltz. Ever since i was a youngin' I have always really like being outside. Whether it was walks in the woods with my father or just swinging on the swingset in my backyard I alway found myself at ease and blissful. I very passionate in general. I love music, martial arts, film, and the natural art of the world. I've known about the trail for a few years but this past year is when I decided it was something I want to do. In this past year I've gathered as much info as possible about the trail and got all the gear needed. Sara and I hope to make this year an unforgettable one!
With Love,
Max
