PCT in 90 (2024)

Join me as I attempt to hike one of the most iconic long-distance trails in the world in 90 days: the 2024 Pacific Crest Trail. From the Mexico border to Canada, this 2,653-mile adventure will take us through vast deserts, towering mountain ranges, dense forests, and breathtaking alpine lakes across California, Oregon, and Washington. Along the way, I’ll be sharing the highs, lows, daily challenges, and personal growth that come with each mile of this incredible journey.

Whether you’re an avid hiker or just curious about life on the trail, follow along as I document every step, from preparation to that final border crossing.

Two friends. One country. No plans — just the open road. What started as a wild idea turned into an unforgettable journey hitchhiking coast to coast across Canada. With nothing but our backpacks and our thumbs in the wind, we relied entirely on the kindness of strangers—truckers, families, fellow wanderers—each offering not just a ride, but a story, a smile, and sometimes even a meal. From misty mornings in the Maritimes to the rugged mountain passes of British Columbia, every mile brought a new adventure and a deeper bond between two friends chasing freedom, serendipity, and the beauty of the unknown
