Hi I’m Squalo.
I feel better when I spend time outside, whether that’s looking across a vast desert landscape, walking in a forest, or breathing in fresh mountain air. I try to incorporate hiking into my daily routine. In 2025 I’ll be hiking the CDT, which will be the last of my triple crown (I’ve completed the PCT, AT, and AZT). On those journeys, I learned an incredible amount about myself and how success comes from the journey instead of from a singular goal.
When I’m not hiking, I focus on the overlap of personal growth and spending time outdoors. I’d love to help you with the mental preparation of your next adventure, whether that be building a habit of hiking in your local park or embarking on a multi-month thruhike.

Hi!
I fell in love with backpacking when my dad took me on my first trip when I was 11, cultivating a deep love for the outdoors and adventure. After thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2023, I'm working on completing the Triple Crown by finishing the Continental Divide Trail and Pacific Crest Trail.
With years of experience and thousands of miles on the trails, I love helping others embark on their own backpacking journeys.
