MEET KATHLEEN

Hi, I’m Kathleen, I'm a Northwest day hiker, solo long-distance backpacker, backpacking coach for women and "The Hungry Hiker" on YouTube. I'm passionate about hiking, backpacking and spending time outside. My goal is to help women go from feeling scared and intimidated about backpacking to feeling comfortable planning their trips so they feel confident getting out on trail for their own solo adventures and I do this through my online backpacking program for women, The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System.
