Alina “Abstract” Drufovka: Artist & Hiker | The Hiker Podcast S2E22

42 minutes

This week I'm excited to talk with artist and hiker Alina “Abstract” Drufovka!

Alina “Abstract” Drufovka is a Colombian-American painter and illustrator based out of Philadelphia, PA. She has hiked the Appalachian Trail (2015 & 2017), Israel National Trail (2018), and Pacific Crest Trail (2019). After 5,000+ miles of thru hiking, she now transforms all the nostalgia and beauty from her treks into surreal paintings back to the "trailverse."
