This week's featured adventure stories

Marinel DeJesus on the Salkantay Trek, Peru

About our co-host
Marinel de Jesus

Marinel de Jesus is the founder of Peak Explorations & Brown Gal Trekker, a former Washington DC trial lawyer and a current resident of Peru who is an active voice in the outdoor community on a variety of issues, including advocating for the rights and dignity of porters in Peru and around the world. 

Her current project is raising $16,000 to produce the film KM 82, which will share the stories of porters on the Inca Trail in order to illustrate inequities in the trekking tourism industry worldwide, and advocate for improved conditions for the people who make so many mountain adventures possible.

Kolby Kirk's Adventure Story:
The Essence of Los Angeles

Kolby Kirk, from Bend, Oregon, is a talented artist, nature journalist, and storyteller who's been featured in our podcast multiple times, and earned a spot in our Season 2 Highlights episode.  You can also hear him on Episode 107, and read a profile about him on one of our earliest blog posts.
​
In this episode, Kolby talked about feeling like he was able to capture the essence of a LA by focusing in on the small things with his old fashioned camera and that allowed him to feel like he not only captured the essence, but he experienced the city in a way he wouldn’t have otherwise. Supplement your listening experience by checking out his really interesting collection of photos from that experience here.

Gracetopher "McGuyver" Kirk on trail with Enterprise.

Gracetopher Kirk's Adventure Story:
The trail is not the trail, the trail is the people

Gracetopher Kirk is a talented poet who has published a book (on sale at Amazon) called McGuyver’s Trail Poetry Mile 1. 

Gracetopher recorded some of those poems while they were hiking the PCT and shared the recordings with us - you can listen on our Patreon page. You can also hear another story from Gracetopher on Episode 102.

While injury prevented Gracetopher from completing the trail in 2018, they're undeterred, and after spending a chunk of 2019 in Germany, are planning big hiking adventures again in 2020.
