Note well: I'd love to have a picture of you from the trail, so please try to snap a few creative selfies (or have someone you meet on the trail take your picture) along the way!
After your hike, I'd like to talk to you again (even if only remotely, though in person will be preferred if it's possible) about how it went and if what you intended to find/achieve aligned with what you actually learned or if you encountered any surprises.
