    Just beautiful Nomi! To those that are judging her walking alone, she is very well aware of her surroundings no matter where she is. Probably moreso due to her military training. Not too long ago, a young mom, fought for her life in a crowded Target parking lot, in a very “safe” area near me. A guy was trying to kidnap her. She was able to fight him off. A person should be aware of their surroundings no matter where they are.

    A few things to take on your hike, a bullhorn, bear spray, flashlight, satellite phone, Apple tag tracker walking stick with hidden knife. IJS 🙏

      ​@@DebraB625yall keep saying that ,but anybody can have "protection" it's really about actually using the protection when needed without freezing up ,I'm sure with her experience she will tho !!.

    What a beautiful video. Never lose that adventurous spirit. I am adventurous and I raised an adventurous daughter. We hiked to the Great Wall of China for my 60th bday this year but you remind us we don't have to go far to find incredible wonders. It warmed my heart when you talked about the complexities of the universe being evidence of a God. You are so right. We are a blip in time and about 7 billion of us are sharing the human experience right now. Thank you for reaching out, connecting, and inspiring us to take time to "smell the roses".
