Hi! I'm Sophia 

I'm a typical teenage girl who loves backpacking, climbing, writing long manuscripts, and school. I'm excited about hiking and alpine climbing, spending all day projecting in the gym, and writing the next blog post!

"Kids don't climb big mountains."
That's what I was told almost all my life. It's why started this blog: as an opportunity to share my journey and inspire girls (and everyone!) like me all over the world to chase their dreams.

Climbing!

I train 5 days a week in my home climbing gym, and am climbing at an indoor V8/5.12a level. I'm excited to expand my currently-minimal alpine climbing experience, and push my skills towards more adventures.

10 Countries
1,000+ trails hiked

So far, I've travelled to 24 destinations around the world. I want to visit different places and meet new people, experience different lifestyles, and inspire other limbers.

2026, and then?

Since I was a little kid, I loved telling stories. Writing, blogging, photography - storytelling is a form of art. My dream is to climb mountains worldwide and become a professional outdoor photographer and cinematographer, but I want to pursue a career in media marketing.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.
