Wandering Monk Hikes Podcast

I am sharing stories, tips, and lessons that I learn backpacking through America’s trails. Whether you are an experienced backpacker or have never walked on a dirt path, you are welcome here! As a military veteran, hiking has helped me rediscover peace within my soul. As a senior citizen (code for old guy), I know that we are never too old to start. The beauty of nature is waiting for you. So, come on. Let’s go walking!

Welcome to Wandering Monk Hikes Podcast! We are discussing all things hiking and backpacking. We will talk gear, trails, hacks, techniques, and much, much more. This debut episode opens by talking about why hike at all. This is my why. Backpacking has given me so much. More than the excitement, and it is exciting, there is something else. More than the challenges, and it is challenging, I am motivated by a different call. There is healing on the trail. Yes, there is physical healing. I believe hiking has allow my doctor to take me off all of my diabetes medications. Still, there is a different healing benefit. Emotional healing is a great blessing of the trail! I feel peace when I hike. I want you to find health too. Let’s talk about it. Today’s episode looks at what calls me to the trail.
