I currently live in Austin, TX, but spent most of my life in Washington, DC and Miami, FL.... with a brief west coast stint in San Diego, CA when I fell in love with hiking! During that year I was able to backpack Mt. Whitney, and through-hike the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim. I've also enjoyed backpacking trips to Havasupai, AZ and look forward to more exotic locales! I'm hopeful to find 2-3 other solo travelers to tackle Everest Basecamp with -- I would prefer to go without a travel group (possibly hiring our own guide on the ground upon arrival).
