Only 1 out of 4 people who attempt the Appalachian Trail succeed. In 2017, Leah Lipka was one of them. With no prior backpacking experience or gear knowledge, Leah set out on the 2,189-mile hike from Georgia to Maine - alone. Today, she reveals to Emily what she learned during her 6 months on the trail, what the trek cost her (not just financially), and why you shouldn't be afraid to go it alone.
