497 Christine Reed – Adventures on the Wonderland Trail
Table of Contents
Today’s Topic
I’m excited to introduce this week’s guest, Christine Reed. I recently read her fantastic book, Alone in Wonderland, about her experience on the Wonderland Trail in Washington State, USA. It’s a fantastic blend of a travel journal and personal memoir, including reflections on her life’s experiences. I highly recommend it!
In this episode, we talk about lessons learned from hiking multiple trails. We discuss how trails can help us to figure things out, and how to get started on your own solo backpacking adventures.
About Christine Reed
Christine Reed is a long-distance backpacker and author of the memoir, Alone in Wonderland. She shares her personal journey from sedentary office worker to rugged outdoorswoman in hopes of inspiring others to see something bigger for themselves– whatever that may be. But also to remind us that a good story is about sharing something of ourselves and connecting with others. She’s found in the outdoor community the first place that ever felt like home.
