The Appalachian Trail crosses through 14 states. To honor that, I am sharing 14 of the life lessons I learned from my thru-hike.

  1. You don’t have to know your end goal to be on the right path
  2. Always say yes to a new experience
  3. Celebrate little victories
  4. Human connection is what life is all about
  5. Don’t limit yourself
  6. Let go of what you can’t control
  7. Expectations will f*ck you up. Instead be grateful.
  8. If you know the right thing to do, just do it
  9. Do not wait on others
  10. In friendships, don’t draw hard lines
  11. You’re in control of your life
  12. Love and like yourself
  13. Be present
  14. Life is in the journey
