I’m Chloe, “Chickpea.” I’m on a mission to explore every wild place I can find. I’ve thru-hiked the PCT, Colorado Trail, Sunshine Coast Trail, and even international hikes like the Manaslu Trek in Nepal and the West Highland Way in Scotland! I’m passionate about helping others feel ready and excited for their own adventures. Through mindfulness, mental prep, and practical skills, I coach first-time adventurers dreaming of their own thru-hikes. Planning a long-distance hike? I’d love to help—drop me a message on my instagram _itsmechickpea
