Insta-Hiker Culture + Responsible Recreation | Emily Pelland, HikingWithHeels


Listen Later

184: We're chatting with Emily Pelland of @hikingwithheels all things outdoor recreation. Emily shares her story of building up an online presence as a hiker-influencer, and the challenges that ultimately encouraged her to step away from the space. We discuss the behind-the-scenes of creating her beautiful images, community in the online space, and the positives/negatives of publicizing trails (the very controversial: should you tag locations?). Emily shares tips on responsible hiking for beginners and we reflect on stories of some of our favorite online spaces.
