This is my first blog post on here. This is a learning curve for me, and I hope this turns out to be one of the best things I have ever done.
Who are we?
My name is Emily Taylor, and I am from a small town right outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I am currently in college. I love photography, hiking, the ocean, and being outdoors. My boyfriend, Seth, is an aircraft mechanic, and is also from the same small town. We met in high school, and have been together ever since. Our dog, Kona, always tags along on our trips. She is a rambunctious, water-loving doodle. Together we make the perfect hiking trio.
Why start this blog?
I decided to start this blog to share my experiences on the trails, love for hiking, and my photography with everyone that is looking for the next trail to adventure out on. I hope to help my readers to choose their next adventure.
What do I plan on writing about?
I plan to write about every trail that we hike and share our experiences. I will also write about if we enjoyed the hike and how I would rate the hike 1-10; 1 being the lowest and 10 being the best. The ratings will be based on the scenery, atmosphere, difficulty, how easy it was to follow, and how well-kept the trail was. I will also include my photography from each trail to let the reader to get a better look.
Who do I hope to reach?
I hope to reach everyone and anyone on this blog. From someone who is just starting to hike, a family looking for a trail to hike on the weekend, professional hikers, or anyone in general; I hope they all find comfort in reading my blog.
Thank you for reading my first blog, and supporting my new-found hobby!
