Evan came to the US from Mongolia as a late teen. After facing a tough divorce his life shifted. He was following a path of partying, self destruction, and hanging out with the "wrong crowd" and he needed a pick me up. He joined Trail Roots and started running more. He decided that he wanted to travel the US and parts of the world now that he had no attachments. He sold most of his stuff and set out for a 6 month road trip in his Toyota 4 Runner. He wanted to see as many National Parks as possible, and what he found was that he fell in love with connecting with new people, hearing their stories, and making new friends along the way just as much as he did seeing the beautiful trails.
