I'm currently more than half-way through my goal of hiking all 46 Adirondack peaks over 4,000 feet. I'm also working with a group of young women who ditched their cookie badges for backpacks on a separate 46-er goal. I've traveled internationally to hike and immerse myself in different cultures. Last year I visited the Artic Circle in Norway and Finland to see the Aurora Borlealis.
