Sasha J.

Sasha, who sometimes goes by her trail name “Sassy,” is a Pennsylvania native and a world wanderer. She has experienced nature as something spiritual from a very young age, and intense wanderlust since her teen years. Following work in education, travel sales, and international medical case management, she pursued a MA in International Communication in Europe. Not satisfied with the corporate environment, post-graduation she decided to soul search by embarking on several treks in Hungary, Croatia, The Netherlands, Germany, and her home state of Pennsylvania; totalling 1,400+ miles in solo long-distance expeditions. The desire to guide others through soul-filling experiences in the great outdoors then drove her to become a guide at therapeutic wilderness programs in North Carolina and Utah. Finally, she was drawn farther west, and is thrilled to share the incredible beauty and rich history of the Sierras with you. When she’s not out hiking, she enjoys vanlife and creating content for her YouTube channel.
