If you are thinking about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail...

After 5 months and 8 days, I completed the Pacific Crest Trail during a record snow year. There were good days and there were bad days.

Still trying to wrap my head around everything. I learned what it means to suffer, what it means to heal and what it means to love myself all in one go.

The constant ego battle of pushing myself to my limit. Walking 500 miles on a collapsed hip, contemplating my choices day after day, waking up in a blizzard at 4AM, crossing ice cold rivers, cursing at the mountains in front of me. I lost a lot of who I was, found a lot of who I am.

I learned what it means to surrender and through the compassion I found for myself, I have become a better person. In the end, I found what I was always looking for. Growth.

Thank you for watching :)
