This is me. I'm not fancy.
Full disclosure: I haven't always been a hiker nor have I ever been a blogger. Also, I'm not fancy. I'm not even sure I know how to do this blogging thing but I'm going to give it a shot. I hope I'm not terrible at it! Becoming an avid hiker and having the desire to document my experiences are things that are a bit unexpected for me. You see, I didn't grow up in a family that particularly relished in the outdoors (although I lived in rural towns) and I have always been an introvert so public speaking isn't exactly my most favorite thing. That being said, my career in higher education has pushed me out of my comfort zone and has caused me to be in positions where public speaking is necessary. I do it. It's fine. I just don't tend to seek it out. That's the "work me"...the one who speaks up, gets things done, and has confidence. The "outside of work me" is my fly-under-the-radar self...the one who loves to go unnoticed. Perhap
