In this episode, we have the privilege of talking with Lauren Schaupp, daughter of missionaries to East Africa, who spent her early years in the vast expanses of Kenya and Ethiopia. She attended Southern Wesleyan University, majoring in biology, and has a passion for all things outdoors. Lauren belongs to a rare group of elites who have thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and has all the stories to go along with her great journey. Join us today as we travel along the trail with Lauren for all 2,193.1 miles of wild adventure and be sure to catch her additional long-distance hiking plans in the future.
