Emily Pennington is The Brazen Backpacker.

She's a mountain climber and solo hiker who sought adventure in Peru, the USA, and Nepal. A travel writer, she shares about her experiences in major magazines.

Today she tells us what it takes to live like she does: How to train and what to pack, what books to read, and how to get ready for the great outdoors.
