Here's a throwback to my first hike alone at Bear Mountain in March. Yep, I've only been hiking since. From Social Worker to Veterinary Technician to Writer and Hiker- there ain't no mountain high enough to keep me away from achieved my dreams. I want to hike for life. I want to travel the world and write. I can no longer be contained by walls. I have found my freedom. #blackoutdoors #wecoloroutside #diversifytheoutdoors #timetofly #melaninbasecamp #melaninpoppin #melaninmagic #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlstrekkin #blackgirlsrock #unlikelyhikers #blackoutdoors #hikinglife #travelgram #wandern #mountainlife #trees #happyhiker #optoutside #backpackinglight #seatosummit #bedrocksandals #garagegrown #wildzora #blackgirlswhohike #natur #wilderness #alps #bushcraft #travelgram #trekking #takemebackpacking (at Bear Mountain State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFstVyrFGN6/?igshid=11qdo26txblrv

I'm not living my life scared. I'm living my life prepared. Even small creeks can become mighty rivers. Hate cannot win. Failure also cannot win because I'm a mountain and I cannot be moved. I stand as tall as these courageous mountains that I walk on. I dance upon their ridges and lavish in their balds. There is nothing that can shake me. #melaninbasecamp #melaninpoppin #melaninmagic #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #blackoutdoors #blackgirlstrekkin #blackgirlsrock #unlikelyhikers #forceofnature #garagegrown #writersofinstagram #naturephotography #natur #wilderness #alps #bushcraft #trekking #photooftheday #optoutside #travelgram #travelphotography #wandern #landscapephotography #ignature #takemebackpacking #wanderlust #salomon #embracethespace #happyhiker https://www.instagram.com/p/CFj91BKlM8z/?igshid=168jw2xrnun50

I’ve been binge watching #girlfriendsonnetflix and it’s a very accurate depiction of mid career adulthood in Los Angeles, but there’s one thing that has always bothered me for almost 20 years. Ain’t no way in hell Maya was doing all that damn driving across LA. Now had she had been late to everything that would have been more realistic. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #womenoutdoors #melaninbasecamp #jogja #blackinnature #uad #losangeles #diversifyoutdoors #hikingadventures #umy #womenwhohike #la #mahasiswa #blackgirlmagic #uii #outdoorafro #blackwomen #blackgirlshike #yogyakarta #optoutside #hiking #girlfriends #traffic #netflix #blackgirlstrekkin #melaninpoppin #ugm #ladrivers #unlikelyhikers #blackisbeautiful (at Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFISbFBMVrv/?igshid=m2tyng169hna

The people United will never be divided! I'm so honored to have spent the time with @rotreks on this odyssey. She's truly a beautiful soul. Just us two ladies on a phenomenal adventure. Meraxes got to tag along too but she wasn't a huge fan of kayaking. #melaninbasecamp #melaninpoppin #melaninmagic #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlstrekkin #diversifyoutdoors #timetofly #kayaking #backpackinglight #dogswhohike #hikinglife #mountainlife #travelgram #dogslife #dogstagram #seatosummit #optoutside #salomon #nike #outsideisfree #wanderlust #wandern #photooftheday #embracethespace #happyhiker #trekking #alps #natur #bushcraft #wilderness (at Watkins Glen, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CExA9KjlPoE/?igshid=bsqufzochzjz

I'm just trying to be me and do what I got to do and some people think that I'm just sitting on top of waterfalls :) Write hard, Play hard. I want these moments to never end. #melaninbasecamp #melaninpoppin #melaninmagic #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #blackoutdoors #blackgirlstrekkin #blackhikers #blackisbeautiful #blackgirlsrock #unlikelyhikers #forceofnature #travelgram #wandern #photooftheday #salomon #embracethespace #happyhiker #optoutside #outsideisfree #wanderlust #ignature #igdaily #waterfalls #daredevil #seatosummit #hikinglife #mountainlife #travelphotography #natur (at Buttermilk Falls Ithaca NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpWHF2lUYT/?igshid=xpi6gyo0jp8l

I did Mt. Tammany with the group! I'm pretty sure I have at least twenty pounds in this Kelty pack. The pack itself was four. Nonetheless, I made it through the scramble and the brush. Foraging for berries is my jam. #blackhikers #womenwhohike #womeninspiringwomen #unlikelyhikers #melaninbasecamp #melaninpoppin #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlstrekkin #photooftheday #photogenic #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_perfection #newjersey #trekking #hikersofinstagram #nofilter #optoutside #openmyworld #outsideisfree #landscapephotography #mountainlife #outdoortherapy #delawarewatergap #adventureseeker #scenery #instagood #instanature #livingmybestlife #blackisbeautiful https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuqMsilKGR/?igshid=zivhwa4nd18i
