Hey, I’m Adrian
I’m a licensed occupational therapist (OT) and Backpacking Educator.
I teach beginners how to go from day hiking to their first overnight backpacking trip. My background in OT, shapes how I teach: Pacing yourself so you’re not wrecked by day two, packing your bag so it doesn’t beat up your joints, and learning to move in ways that actually hold up over miles.
