A footpath through a country. A journey of a lifetime.
The trail that Lonely Planet once dubbed 'a mythical adventure' draws thousands of hopeful hikers each year, eager to test their endurance and their limits on this 2653-mile hike across the United States. But how do you gather the courage to believe you could be one of them? What drives a woman to leave her comfortable life at home behind and walk from Mexico to Canada by herself?
Lies Dieben has traveled far and wide, but is now living in a tiny house. Eager to further reduce her living space, she decided to swap the tiny home for an even tinier tent, to leave nothing but footsteps in the world. When not outdoors, she writes about being outdoors.
Walk with her on her journey across some of the wildest areas in the USA. From that first and most difficult step to a journey full of adventure, hardships, highlights and breakdowns. From scorching heat to mind-numbing cold. A journey that she thought would teach her how to be alone, but ended up showing her that you sometimes need others to travel further.
