Hi, I'm Audrey Payne. I'm an avid hiker and backpacker, and in 2018, after recovering from a debilitating spinal injury, I quit my job in Washington, D.C., to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Then, I wrote a memoir about it! Now, I live in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, where I get outdoors every chance I get. Check out my trail memoir, "Where the Rhododendrons Bloom: A Thru-Hiking Adventure on the Appalachian Trail" to learn what it's REALLY like to hike the AT and what happens if you dare to follow your wildest dreams.
