Hi,I'm Kylean inspiredbackpackerand travelenthusiastliving acity-basedlife inChicago.

My inspiration for backpacking arose in the Andes mountains of S. America while vacationing in Santiago and the Torres del Paine region of Patagonia in March 2016.

Two years later I embarked on my debut long-distance backpacking adventure by walking 600 miles over 35 days across Northern Spain on a route called El Camino De Santiago that took me over mountains, through forests, and across deserts. Needless to say, it left a lasting impression.

Since then I've travelled to numerous destinations — from the heights of the Himalayas in Nepal to the rainy shores of Scotland — and spent hundreds of days traipsing through nature, and over mountain passes, all around the world.
