I just graduated out of Boise High School, and will be attending Montana State University when I return. I've grown up in an outdoor oriented family, typically with summers full of travel and river trips. I'll be the redhead in any pictures we upload.This trip was inspired, for me, by the movie The Way. While watching, I recognized a desire to take a year off of school and travel. The Te Araroa Trail is providing me with a fantastic avenue to pursue that desire.

Like Nolan, I am also a recent Graduate of Boise High that plans to attend MSU next fall. I grew up under the bosom of a father who backpacked and rock climbed through Yosemite in the 80s, and a mother that taught skiing at Breckenridge. I've been heavily active in outdoor activities my entire life; backpacking through the Sawtooths and White Cloud mountains, spending Christmas in snowshoe-in yurts, and going on 300 mile cycling tours have all been regular activities. Nolan asked me what I thought about going to New Zealand when he was shaving my head last January, and since I wasn't hell bent on studying for 4 years immediately after studying for 12 years, I signed on to the troupe.
