In this video, I go over basic questions to share some fun facts about myself. Get to know me and my perspective.
More questions? Ask me in the comments!
I'm just glad to find someone to follow that knows how to pronounce Appalachian 😊
Hi✌️🙂 I just ran across your channel while watching “HikingMovie”. I started with this video, as I think it’s such a great idea. I hiked from age 17 and all thru my 20’s. I’m an RN and was a single Mom, then at 29 was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. The AS took me from most outdoor activities. I decided to begin training this year for some hiking next year. Part of my trail research was watching videos. I became so interested in the ones I watch. I’m so hopeful for and inspired by, everyone that I watch. Lol, I forgot worry about! Strangers that I will never meet but seem to care about. Thank you for taking me along as you hike. Your videos are blessings for us both! I’ll be back trekking you. Stay safe! ✌️
Thank you for being here and following along!
Well done. Going to binge watch. That will tell a lot. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the adventure.
Looking forward to following you on your nobo hike to Katahdin!
Would love to see you vlog about your homestead when that day comes
Just found your channel... I also live in Yancey County! I'm rooting for ya! I hope to thru-hike the AT within the next few years myself!
I totally understand the INTJ..
I believe the best way to get know someone is to observe how they react to a very, very slow internet connection. Before the internet age, my mother told me to truly know someone is to drive across country and back again.
Didn’t work out for Brian and Gabby
Best wishes stay safe
Merry Christmas
Can’t wait to watch!!
Looking forward to your thru hike!
You are a lovely and interesting person. It sounds like you should be well suited to thru-hike the AT. Enjoy your time out there and all the best to you and the class of 2023.
Dam girl, you rock! You have a very well rounded back ground. Good luck on Your AT journey! Amen, don’t spill the coffee.
Good luck and happy trails with your hike. I made it 550 AT miles in 22 but had to get off due to a knee injury and lack of enthusiasm to go on.
Best of luck on your epic journey! Crow✌️
Fellow UNCA grad here and AVLnative. Looking forward to your hike!
Yea WNC! I'm a bit north of Hickory. My then 13-yr-old son and I did GA-NJ in '19 and are planning a "do-over" hike in '24. I'm looking forword to watching your videos and those of the rest of the class of '23 with a particular eye toward early weather. Good luck with your hike!
Thank you!
I love the determination at the end. “I’m going to make it happen.”
I live in Burnsville so it's cool you are from this area... Looking forward to following your journey🙌🙌
Love the opening music! Very nice setting for your introduction. Interesting too, so looking forward to your journey.
My dream is to hike the AT before I get too old. I look forward to following along with you on your trip. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Great getting to know ya a little better. Homestead sounds like a great idea. Looked like a fun walk next to the river!
Looking forward to following your adventure!
Hey , I’m originally from hot springs NC . I hiked the A.T. in 2012 , got to Maine , really liked it and I’m still here . I will be following your trip , best of luck !
Great answers! I bet with your outdoor lore and your education, the Appalachian trail thru hike will be second nature to you. I'm looking forward to keeping up with your adventure.
Thank you!
Yancy County! We are somewhat of close neighbors. I’ve lived in Swain, Ashe and now we are just east of Hickory. I’m glad to have come across your channel and I’m looking forward to your hike on the AT as well as future adventures that will come along. I loved this video, my wife and I have many things, it would seem, in common with you. I wish you the best on the AT, I’ll be peaking in as often as I can. Be safe and stay well. 😊
Beautiful scenery for a morning walk! Love the answers too :)
I’m not surprised that you graduated from UNCA. I graduated recently from UNCG. I wish that more people understood and appreciated the level of education taught at Chapel Hill’s smaller siblings! I thoroughly enjoy your channel! Thank you!
Thank you!
Nice to know you better. I'm leaning towards shooting for the last week of March to hit Springer, right after my son's birthday. He will be 38. Yes, I'm old! 😁
Better late than never. Having left Springer three times, twice in March and once in late April, I wouldn't leave any sooner, in reality, because colder weather forces you to carry more insulation weight, which slows you down and makes for more nights between towns, which slows you down and...well...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Daniel will you be utubing your trip?
@@shirleyhall1924 No, Shirley. After thinking about it, I feel that it would be too time consuming for a slower, older hiker. Thanks for asking.
I am looing forward to following you on your adventure on the AT. I also live in Yancy County near Pensacola for 10 years. Love hiking this area.
Nice to meet ya 🏝️
I'm with you on that homestead I'll quit my 9-5 so fast
It was a pleasure getting to know you. Now I'm looking forward to your hike even more.
Wow, that looked cold for NC! I'm sure all of that XC/Track experience will help out on those days you've got to dig deep and keep pushing forward. Great sports, my daughters have done both since elementary school. Best of luck to you!
I'm in western NC near Morganton. GA-->ME '96 Too Tall here. Positive vibes to you on your journey! Would be great to connect before you start. Give me a shout. Hike your own hike!
Your energy and determination are incredible. I think you will accomplish anything you set your mind to including hiking the AT. It is my opinion being a runner will help with your hike. I was a marathon runner before my hike. At age 62 I could keep up with most younger hikers on the climbs. Looking forward to following your hike. Good Luck.
Interesting video, I love hiking and plan to section hike the PCT.
Awesome! Goodluck!
Interesting!! I’m in north GA. My family moved here in the 1920s from Saluda NC and I do know some of them were from Yancy Co. I’ve been meaning to get up that way to try and do some research on them. Not sure what I can find. These were my Great Grandparents and they were born up there in the late 1800s-early 1900s so I have no idea if I have any distant relatives there now or not.
Allie (I hope I spelled that correctly) it will be my pleasure to watch your hike. 😁🇺🇲
Great mug! I hiked the Foothills Trail in 2021, it’s beautiful. I have family who live in Asheville (I’m from NJ) and I also have a mountain tattoo on my arm 😎 I’ll be headed NOBO in early April. Hope to see you out there!
Thanks! Hope to catch up with you on trail.
You are a natural on camera- and I'm looking forward to your hike. (Myers & Briggs is the letter analysis from an INFP (myself)). Your vision for your future is perfect and much needed in society today. One question I do have- is have you had some previous experience backpacking?
Yes I have! I went on my first trip when I was in high school. I’ve been backpacking one weekend a month the past few as part of my AT prep.
Great introduction! Have a great AT journey. Maybe we’ll see you when you hit Franklin, NC - mile 110.
You will for sure! Looking forward to it.
Good opening music!
Be sure to stop by Lazy Hiker brewery on your way north!!
Basically you are like me from NC all my life working on getting a farm. right now I am on eight acres working on getting a hundred more when the time comes working now as heavy equipment mechanic and working fire and rescue, survival instructor not much hiking but have done two weeks hiking in Missouri no trails we made them and got paid to do so. I make everything I can and build everything I can myself. self reliance is the future and the way it got to be. And all of it from home it is a crazy world some times we live in. Hope you get it done just remember keep a upbeat attitude with your co hiker in to the being it's great and in middle not so great but at the end if you both are still speaking to each other the best of all. My friend still not on speaking turms and that was a two week working hike yes we got paid but I think it was the relentless attack from bugs which we were not thinking about before we took the job and the cost of gas getting there but we took the job and finished it . I don't think he was cut out for being outdoors he now works in a office and pretty sure he only camps from a truck now if the bugs get to bad he can go home. You just can't do that on foot it is not a option in the middle of nowhere and your boss won't be back for two weeks .
Thanks for sharing. I'm assuming you're ok with cold coffee too unless you finished that cup really quickly. I'm the same about mornings, used to love to go for a run so I could watch the sun come up.
If the coffee cools because I was outside, it’s always worth it. In this case though, I did finish most before it went cold.
I followed "Lazarus"he moved to Asheville, North Carolina after his 2022 thru hike. He had a really cool U tube channel.He told the history of the trail. Have a great Christmas Eve 🧑🎄🎄⛄⛄👍🙏❤️☕
Thank you! You as well.
Speaking Spanish, playing football (please don't call it soccer) world traveler, and on top you know how to pronounce "Appalachian" makes me believe you are a super cool person, and worth it to follow
Hope you gonna make it
Thanks! You and me both.
Nice vid, but damn, I didn't realize how intrusive people are with their questions! 🧐
Good luck and we will be seeing you on the trail
thanks for letting us peek into "you". I am aspiring to trail angel for some folks this year, in varying ways, shapes and forms. Do you have a google docs form that can help you coordinate such magic? ( gypsy & fern - gypsy trails here on YT -did that last year - they posted the link into their vlogs to help arrange for angels and it helped them immensely)
Hm, that’s a good idea. If I make such a link, I’ll be sure to mention it in a future video. For now, you’re welcome to DM me on Instagram @appalachianadventurista.
Good luck. Any kind of trail majic near Massachusetts
I love the opening music too. Which music is this? Which song?
It’s a soundtrack on iMovie called Blue Mountains.
Nice Intro Homestead! Happy Trails! We'll see you in P'burg. Mile 635ish. 💜🥾🥾💜
Enfj.....just means you have good common sense. 👍😉
Very interesting life up until now! The homestead was a dream of mine too but alas initiated too late in life to achieve and be successful, but I do have a lot of wilderness travel under my belt since about 31 years of age. I have over 27,000 miles of canoeing, two AT thru hikes, 1000 miles of PCT, travel extensively in Northern Canada and inside the Arctic Circle twice. I did a trip that I called the Ultimate Triathlon Vacation where I canoed from Pennsylvania to New Orleans then hiked the AT Georgia to Maine and then bicycled from Maine back to my starting point. It took me 13 months. I was able to do all of the traveling because I worked as a Paramedic for 45 years and the trips kept me free of PTSD. I worked as a white-water guide for 30 years and I lived on an island in the Gulf of Mexico for 5 years. I also have a degree in Photography and Photojournalism. I will be 70 years old next month, but Lyme Disease has taken a lot of the adventure travel out of my life so now days I just hike vicariously through others thru hikes and try to help and offer advice if needed. If I may ask, how old are you? You seem to have a very level head on your shoulders for your future and your travels. Good luck on your hike, stay safe and hike strong.

You're interesting. Hope you get your homestead someday. Don't need to win the lottery but requires money to buy and money to support the cost of ownership. To be successful, a person needs multiple streams of income. Earned income from a job; revenue from a business such as selling solar energy or produce from your homestead; RUclips video income of your lifestyle; unearned income such as dividends & interest from investments. All possible. Be careful starting business because you don't want to buy yourself a job, you just want revenue to support your lifestyle.
Looking forward to following your adventure!
