What does Aziz Ansari in a hot tub have to do with hiking the Pacific Crest Trail - a 2,600 mile trail along California, Oregon, and Washington? You'll find out about this and more in this interview with Kelsey Miller!

Kelsey is an adventurer at heart. She started her career in tech, and in her 20s decided to hike the PCT with her husband. This is a grueling, months-long "full-time job" where one walks, eats, and sleeps - only to repeat it the next day. Upon re-entering the "real world," she quickly left the tech world and founded Bucket Magazine, an outdoor adventure mag that serves as a travel guide to unique destinations. In this interview, she and Jamie talk about the thru-hiking experience, creating community around outdoor adventure, and the healing salve that nature provides.

Her unabashed willingness to say "yes" to life is contagious and will have you itching to plan your next outdoor adventure!
