Gretchen Pardon - Invidious

Gretchen Pardon

Formerly known as "Hiking with Braids" ✿ As much as I liked my trail name "Braids," I wanted to change my channel to my real name to allow myself the opportunity to show my full authentic self and not hide behind a persona or niche. There's so much more I have to share with you - hiking, backpacking, tattoos, travel, cooking, spooky shit - I could go on... sometimes it'll be exciting and sometimes...well, life is just life - but I hope you'll come along with me for the ride. I'll try to keep it interesting or at the very least entertaining. Change can definitely be scary, but embracing who we are can lead to new opportunities and personal growth. I'm ready to grow. ✌️ 🫶

⛺️ And yeah, one time I hiked 2,193 miles on this really long trail... #AT2020
