Misfit Showcase - @kenyatallandbeautiful

*MISFIT SHOWCASE*
.
I think I'm a misfit hiker because there are not a lot of African American Women on the trails. My goal is to diversify the trail. I have met some wonderful people and made some great connections over the 10 years of hiking. However, my love for the outdoors started 25 years ago with my husband and kids who were little then. We use to go RVing, boating and fishing. I truly have found that the outdoors and hiking brings me piece as well as solitude. My philosophy would be that everyone in some point of time needs to venture outdoors so that they can be in one with nature and themselves. There are so many places that I would like to travel and hike Kilimanjaro as it looks like it would be a great and humbling experience. I would also like to backpack through Fugi to experience the people and its beautiful terrain. My favorite outdoor moment would be my visit to Bryce Canyon in Utah. During my visit the canyon had snow. To view the canyons in my distance with the snow on the valley and peaks was breathtaking. - Kenya (@kenyatallandbeautiful)
