Why am I walking on the AT?

They ask me a lot of this question and makes sense. Living in the forest for 5-6 months and exposing themselves to wild animals, severe climatic conditions, wear, etc., is not something that a typical person would.

The list

I am sure that everyone has their own reasons, but here is my list of ‘Why I am walking for AT’,

• To pursue the dream of completing one of the big-3 through walks
• Have an adventure of your life
• To start my retirement with style
• To be busy living
• To challenge myself
• To put into shape
• To see if I’m crazy enough to complete the more than 2,000 miles
• To inspire others to dream and maybe pursuing their own dreams someday
• Decompress after more than 40 years in the technological field
• Meet people from all kinds of different parts of the country/world

Influences

I have read innumerable books, magazines and blogs. It has been a borderline obsession with me in the last 20 years. Thanks to the authors Bill Bryson, Bill ‘Sky’ Walker, Derick ‘The unlikely through Lugo’ Lugo and Gary Sizer: his books have inspired me and they have helped me dream of one day to end through a walk. And thanks to the bloggers
