Travel talk in English in Prague!The plan was simple: set out alone from Mexico and hike the Pacific Crest Trail all the way to Canada. I took the preparation seriously, studied everything I could, and then spent six months getting practical lessons in the desert, high mountains, forests and interpersonal relationships.
Along the way, I ran into some challenges: pitching a trekking-pole tent, permanently wet sleeping bag, broken heart, sprained ankle and a fairly unpleasant realization that time moves faster than I do. Fortunately, there was also an enormous amount of beautiful places, laughter, friendships and people who taught me things I could have never learned off the internet back home.
During the presentation, I tell the story just as openly as I experienced it. People who have seen the talk say that at times, they felt like they were hiking those 3200 kilometres with me.
Up and down the Pacific Crest Trail is an honest story of how the fairly simple plan of “I'm hiking to Canada” turned into six months that changed a lot more than just my calves. And about how you can grow into things that once seemed too big for you.

Barbora Strihová is a mountain portrait photographer, traveller and public speaker from the Beskydy mountains in Czech Republic.
She loves long-distance hiking, deep conversations and ideas that involve a backpack, a plane ticket or both. The mountains are also where she loves photographing people most, because that's where they seem most like themselves.
When she's not somewhere with her backpack or camera, she's probably planning where she'll take them next. For more mountain adventures, follow Barbora on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/bramborienka/ or visit her website www.barborastrihova.com.
