This corner of my website is basically just a boiled down version of the site I made specifically for my PCT adventure.
I just wanted to get all my travel info/stories in the same place so I decided to copy most of my old website over here.
Me And The PCT
I started the Me And The PCT website in 2017 and posted info about my progress through the year until April when I embarked on my amazing adventure.
Which is what you can read about in the posts on this page 🙂
After that everything continued on my Instagram and on my Youtube channel where I posted daily (almost) videos from the trail.
Most of the older posts are in Danish, but I will translate them at some point, so in the meantime you will have to make do with google translate 😉
All my videos from the PCT thruhike are in English though and you can watch them by clicking the beautiful banner below 😉
