My connection with nature began when I was kid. There was nothing else that excited me more than being outside whether it’d be visiting the neighborhood creek with my friends or building makeshift terrariums with my sister to house caterpillar’s so we could see them turn into butterflies. It wasn’t until  I got older and the responsibilities started to pile up that I began to focus more on “adulting” and spent less time enjoying the nature around me. In 2019, a couple of friends and I randomly decided to go hiking one summer morning at a small trail right outside of Baltimore City. I was hooked! I was instantly brought back to my childhood – outside with my friends. Hiking became the flame to a spark that I always had deep inside of me. I suddenly felt the need to be outside and exploring again. Some of my favorite trails are alongside big rivers such as Niagara Falls, NY and Great Falls, Va. I’ve recently become obsessed with mountain hikes in areas such as Red Rocks, Colorado. Because of hiking, I am not afraid to seek out new adventures. You never know what you’ll get into or where you’ll end up.  Asia Bright, Co-founder of Black Girls HikeHome | Black Girls HikeBlack Girls Hike (@blackgirlshike_) • Instagram photos and videosLike and SUBSCRIBE TO: Martin Outside - YouTube*If you found this episode of Papa Bear Hikes entertaining, informative, and/or interesting please leave a review on Apple iTunesPapa Bear Hikes on Apple PodcastsAmazon.com: Switching Gears: Rediscovering the Meaning of Life, Love, and Happiness While Backpacking Vermont’s Long Trail eBook : Armitage, Martin: Kindle StorePlease Check Out: Papa Bear Hikes 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/
