In February of 2017, I decided to hike the Arizona Trail (AZT) on a whim. The trail is an 803 mile trail running North and South from the borders of Mexico to Utah. I gave myself not even two weeks to prepare for this trip. It turned out great, but depending on how thorough you want to [...]
Until I experienced both kinds of backpacking for myself, I didn’t realize how completely different these two are, and yet we use the exact same word.

I spent three months backpacking through Central America. I have got to admit, I knew almost nothing about Central America before I did this trip. I knew there was the Panama Canal, Costa Rica, and that was pretty much it. I was oblivious to what was down there and the only [...]

Montezuma, located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, is a cool little town that offers surfing, hiking, wildlife, and most of all, Waterfalls that you can jump off of. There are a series of three waterfalls in an area walking distance from town. […]
