Episode 34 Hiking Free with Dirty Avocado - a podcast by Emory R. Wanger

A while back I came across the Instagram account of a PCT Hiker named Dirty Avocado. That then led me to her YouTube channel and to one specific video with her discussing the trail, what she learned, and her battle with footwear.

After hearing her talk about the importance of listening to what your body is trying to tell you, I decided I wanted to have her on as a guest to walk me through her lessons learned.

On this episode, we cover how she got into long distance backpacking, the feeling of freely hiking a trail, the importance of listening to your body, and what happens after the trail.

It's a great episode, and like me, Dirty Avocado just wants to reach people and help them find their adventures.

Special thanks to her for being willing to come on to talk about her personal story. Also, thank YOU, the audience, for coming back week after week! It means the world.
