IMG_5259.jpg

Meeting a beautiful concoction of people makes me realize the true purpose of human connection. To be and enjoy the presence of another human. To learn, to talk, to laugh, to pass a joint.

20150722_145737.jpeg

After months of preparation and countless people telling me we were bound to get murdered, raped, and moonshined, we were off! Two 20 year-old girls with minimal backpacking experience, two oversized backpacks, a film camera, Virginia’s sketchbook and my journal, 64 miles, 6 days, and the entire state of Maryland.
