📝 Stories That Move Mountains: Teaghan on Hiking, Writing & Finding Purpose Outdoors 🌍🥾

In this episode of Hikes & Mics, we’re joined by Teaghan—a gifted storyteller, outdoor journalist, and passionate hiker whose path to the wild began with a spontaneous backpacking trip through Norway’s fjords at 18. From growing up in the Sunshine State to writing for Outside, Backpacker, and Climbing magazines, Teaghan has carved out a powerful voice in the outdoor media world.

She shares her journey of resilience, reinvention, and reconnection, and why she believes inclusive, honest storytelling is the heart of impactful outdoor content. We talk about her favorite wildflower hikes, her bucket-list trails, and what it truly means to hike with intention—not just for the miles, but for the meaning.
