Shot over 2 days with a crew of 10, this video profiles Francis Tapon, author of “Hike Your Own Hike: 7 Life Lessons from Backpacking Across America.”
The video inspires you to get a passport and go travel/backpack the world!
Out of thousands of people to choose from, they picked Francis Tapon to represent the classic dream of traveling the world.
He consulted at Microsoft before hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2006.
In 2007 he became the first person to yo-yo the Continental Divide Trail. This seven month journey spanned nearly 6,000 miles. He backpacked from Mexico to Canada through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Once he reached Canada, he turned around and walked back to Mexico.
You can see all of his videos of the PCT, AT, and other trails on his website.
