Hiking My Feelings

After hiking across Catalina Island in 2018, we (Sydney and Barry Williams) sold almost everything we own to buy a 1998 Chevy Van and travel the country sharing the story of how hiking helped Sydney heal her mind and body.

Since then, we've hosted more than 400 events around the US and have introduced thousands of people to the healing power of nature. Join us as we document our journey here and enjoy behind-the-scenes footage from our cross-country tours, recap videos from our events, and see some of the most beautiful wild spaces in the US.

Looking for community connection and resources? Learn more about the story that inspired this movement and our mission to improve community health at hikingmyfeelings.org.

Dream big + be kind!

Big love,
💚 Sydney + Barry
