“A year ago, my friend Sarah and I decided to take a 2-month backpacking trip around Alaska. It was amazing to take that much time off and I am so glad I did it when I did. I still have a ton of stuff coming out from the trip. Tonnes more video aside from this and some blog posts sharing more info. In short, Alaska is beyond incredible and definitely exceeded my expectations. It was a place and a trip that has been on my mind ever since I left. Not only were the landscapes stunning, but my favourite part of the trip were the amazing people, strangers that took us in all over the place. We were so lucky to have made new friends all along the way. We hitch-hiked over 20 different times, tent camped over 30, couch surfed, and a few nights at hostels. Since then, I have been the way to caught up in life, work and the usual semi-fresh out of college adult stuff. So much so I completely forgot about this time-lapse film I put together. So I figure what better day to release then on my birthday today! A year ago today, we were deep in the Denali National Park and Preserve backpacking units, celebrating my 25th and popping Champagne which we packed in (and out). This list could definitely be bigger and sorry for the over tagging but honestly couldn’t have done what we did without these amazing people who took us in and companies.”
