Amy Robin and her boyfriend Alex Maier are the creators of the Mind, Body, and Soul: the Nature of Well-being documentary project. They are filming their hike on the Continental Divide Trail to explore how spending long periods of time in the wilderness has an effect on a person's mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
This interview with Amy was recorded just before they started their hike on the CDT and it gives you a glimpse into her past and her reasons for quitting regular life for 6 months to be in the wilderness. She hopes to heal from past traumas and find her purpose in life.
