Where's Wallock Travel Blog

My new article is now live, written for my favorite nonprofit, Trail Sisters - an org created to increase women's participation in trail running and hiking, also featured in my where's wallock Outdoor Inclusivity Awards 2025.

I’ve been running for 10 years, but I do not call myself a runner. I am a trained dancer. I am a hiker. I am a snowboarder and mountain athlete. But I am definitely not a runner.

I don’t track my times, know my pace or know any of my PRs. It all started with a genuine love for the mountains. Like many Californians, my inspiration drawn from the mountains from a young age was based in my relationship with the Sierra. Half Dome, El Cap, Cloud’s Rest, and many of the granite giants loom over the sunny Yosemite Valley.

Gazing up at them, it’s only natural to think, “I wonder what the view would be like from up there.” Sheer curiosity!

What an absolute privilege it's been to run on the trails of Colorado, California and New Zealand.
