Affirm	Wow this forum is empty. Let's change that. My trail name is Affirm. This year I have embarked on my own self prescribed personal rite of passage. I just turned 25 and I would ideally continue my travels into the next year but I have a ball and chain in the form of student debt that burns a huge hole in my pocket. By the end of September 2014, I should be at the end of my first step to living life. If all goes well, I would have through hiked over 2,100 official miles of the Appalachian Trail. Cheers to taking big steps. If I have enough money leftover, I'll be sure to skip over to Peru for a bit and work on being poor/content for the rest of my life. www.trailjournals.com/affirm Not all those who wander constantly quote. www.trailjournals.com/affirm quote
