About

ABOUT/COURSE DESCRIPTION:
We wanted to take people on adventure of sorts through our favorite parts of Texas. A few years ago I decided to leave my house with a backpack, my debit card and my phone to walk to Galveston. I wanted to walk to honor some of pediatric cancer angels but also to go on adventure. Along the way I had some amazing stories of just moving on my own 2 feet and figuring out on the go. And even today I can vividly remember who i saw, the stops along the way and the fun of moving 30 miles every day.

So when I wanted to do this as an event I wanted to curate a bit of what you saw in Texas. No matter if you are a native or not I wanted you to see some of the amazing places and spaces that make this Texas. The food, the beer, the parks, the history and the love.
