Changing gears

I'm embarking on a new writing endeavor. I am a hiker. I've been hiking my whole life. That being said, a little about the environment of my youth. I grew up hiking the woods around my house and at the local state forestry. I also led hikes at Girl Scout camp throughout high school. I have hiked German hills and the Swiss Alps, and walked all over three European cities. 

I went to grad school in a small city where I came to better appreciate walking in an urban environment. Now I live in an urban area made up of three cities and a large town. I walk to as many places as I can. I will be blogging about my adventures in urban hiking. Hopefully I can inspire more people to get out and explore where they live no matter what the size of the community.
