Easily one of the best things about getting outdoors and
hiking or being active is meeting like-minded people to share stories and
experiences with. There’s something motivating about meeting someone in your
travels and hearing their stories about hiking through the places you want to
go, or experiencing something you thought wasn’t possible for you.
In addition to the feeling of accomplishment and peace
from going out into nature, these interactions are ones that I cherish and it
was in preparation for The Portly Hiker blog that I stumbled across a group
with similar goals to my own.
