I’m a long-distance hiker and mountaineer who walked across the entire continent of South America, thru-hiking the Andes.

Three years, six amazing countries, seven of the highest peaks in the western hemisphere, and more than 8,000 miles hiked across the longest continuous mountain range on Earth!

The Caminante is the first book in a series about a three-year journey spent hiking the length of South America. A complete immersion into the cultures, traditions, politics, cuisine, and wild natural spaces of six amazing countries!

The Appalachian Trail: Darkness in the Light is about a long-distance hike on the Appalachian Trail in the eastern United States. From the North Georgia Mountains to Maine and everything in between! TIP from the trail: NEVER skip the chance to see a waterfall, they were all worth it…
