For today's message, I am going to talk about:

🪵 🥾 Trekking around the world! ⛰ 🏕

1. Appalachian Trail

One of the most famous trails in the world actually goes through Pennsylvania! (And 13 other states too) The trail between Springer Mountain (Georgia) and Mount Katahdin (Maine) covers around 3,500km, making it one of the longest walking-only trails on the planet. The entire trek usually takes between 5 and 7 months to complete. It is the king of a "Walk in the Woods".

2. Salkantay

the Salkantay trek allows hikers to visit the famous citadel via altogether-less-crowded circumstances. Salkantay is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba range and is a total stunner in its own right. The five-day trek is a moderately difficult one that eschews famous sites in favour of gorgeous vistas.

3. Tour du Mont Blanc

The Tour du Mont Blanc is a round-trip stroll that usually takes around 11 days. This isn’t an easy trek by any stretch of the imagination, but the views on offer make it worth putting one step in front of the other. Walkers usually start in the Chamonix Valley, dipping into Italy and Switzerland before returning to France for the second half. I think this would be a really amazing trek for us to do together, what do you think?

4. Tiger’s Nest

The facts don’t tell the whole tale of the Tiger’s Nest trek in Bhutan. A moderate-to-difficult trail, the whole thing should take between three and five hours. The awe-inspiring sight at the end of this trek transcends technical preparation and time. Primarily known as Paro Taktsang, this seventeenth-century monastery started life as a meditation cave many centuries earlier and is the most important jewel in this glittering crown. I did this trek in 2018, it was a really beautiful environment!

5. Annapurna Circuit

I hiked a bit of this trail when I was on the Everest Base Camp trek. But I would love to go back and do the entire trip from the start. This Base Camp Trek usually takes between 15 and 20 days, taking you through tumbling terrain past charming villages and darling lodges. The views are endless and all-encompassing, and the circuit doubles up as a cultural trail.
