Come and relive my first solo hike with me! I trekked 38.5 miles over a period of 4 nights and 5 days on this beautiful Island known as Santa Catalina. One of the nine Channel Islands here in California. This was a very emotional backpacking trip for me. Thinking that I may not be able to finish it. You will get to hear me sob a little. You will also get to hear why I did this hike solo, how I booked my campsites, my preparation, the gear I used, tips and advice. I saved the best for last, which is the interviews I did on several backpackers and two of them were solo female hikers. One of the greatest things I witnessed on this trail was that one of my new trail friends, (Winter), received some amazing news. She passed her CPA exam! So, congratulations to you Winter! Shout outs to Marian @skywaytofreedom, Winter @wynnie_rose, Erina @queenhart, Amy @amy_dodson, Donna, Michael, Michelle @michhyam, Kristina @kristinacge23. Amazing people I met. You will need to listen to their interview. Once you listen to my story and then theirs, you will get a better perspective on Trans-Catalina and then decide for yourself if you will attempt this trail yourself one day!
