My name is Lily and I'm stoked to be attempting my first backpacking NOBO thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail beginning late March 2023. I'm 23 and originally from Brunswick, Maine (hiking home)! This past winter I got to experience my first winter skiing out west as a lift operator in Big Sky, Montana. Someday, I'll be pursuing a career in sustainable urban planning and design, but, for now, it's one foot in front of the other and swatting bugs!I Survived a Bear Attack on the Appalachian Trail - The Trek Avalon Publicity & Business Services Increasing the Digital Footprint of Content Creators via Modern Publicity and Social Media ServicesSupport the showGet outside, have fun and be safe!Martin Armitage, Host of the Papa Bear Hikes Podcasthttps://www.papabearhikes.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/papa-bear-hikes/id1541491746https://www.instagram.com/papabearhikes01/
