You're not weird at all. The person who said that is just rude. Imagine being so rude that you would judge a stranger for being quiet. Don't let others spoil your hike. This is your journey just for you. And thanks for sharing with us. I'm glad you chose to vlog your journey. It's very beautiful as are you.

Wow. Your comments about being an introvert and how that plays out really resonated with me. I feel you on that one, and just know you're not weird at all. Nothing wrong with being quiet and just taking things in. Hang in there!

Your socializing is very good on camera and to the viewers of the world!

We missed you and love your perseverance. That fellow hiker if they were a kind human they would’ve asked if you were feeling okay instead. Never apologize for who you are.

You are stronger than you think you are. Your videos are unique. I love the way you stop to smell the roses. I totally understand your introvert nature. It's a battle between wanting to be alone but a wee bit of people, not too much.

You are amazing young lady! Your perseverance is amazing and is inspiring! Love the look on your face at the Ca/ Oregon border; I love your vlog and the scenes you capture are just amazing; you’re personal insights of the challenges and the challenges of the PCT; look what you have accomplished ! You again are amazing !!!!

If I haven’t already told you, I’m 73 years old and it’s not too old to be inspired by you!

Twiggy, it had been some time and was wondering about you. No matter where the trail of life leads, please remember: The universe is right on time. So are you. No need to worry about what others think. This celebration is yours to share as you wish. Many thanks for bringing us along.

Thanks Twig. It seems like it's been a while since your last post but it was worth the wait. Thank you for raising the awareness of the sensitivities of shy people. My wife is very shy and over the years I've come to understand the challenges that shy people face. I wish I had some comforting words or some great advice but I don't. I will say that what you are accomplishing on the Pacific crest trail is truly amazing on so many levels. Be proud of that and find strength in that.

Oregon!! Nicely done. We love that smile...keep it up! You got this!

Wonderful video......its a trail of great beauty.....may it sooth your anguish .....you are beautiful.....thanks for showing us your story...

Inspirational introvert that is a courageously determined great stuff. Proud of you!! Worked on Mt Hood at Timberline Lodge for thirty years hope you enjoy the Pacific Northwest we are all rooting for you!

Nature is the best place to really learn who you are. Amazing job.

I've been continuing to enjoy your videos, but I just had to comment on this one. When you look back on this adventure, I hope it makes you see what a strong person you are. Courage is not being unafraid, unchallenged, and constantly cheerful. To accomplish the things you did; the huge mile days, the extremes of weather and terrain, and the social challenges (I can't even imagine hitchhiking as an introvert), sharing your emotional highs and lows with the public...these are the signs of courage. I don't even know you but I couldn't be prouder of you, and I hope you are as well.

You're a strong individual and it's good to be different, keep going, you're impressive!

You are a strong and brave woman, we have the same passion.... I also like to do hiking. I hope you are always healthy and excited, I'm a new friend 🙏🏻☺

Your natural beauty, inside & out, shines. Thanks for sharing your journey with honesty & vulnerability. ❤️

Thank you for allowing me to join in on your awesome adventure!!! Trail Angel tie dye

Hi, Twiggy... From one introvert to another, greetings! I’m sooo proud of you for persevering! As an emotionally sensitive individual, I share many of the feelings you’ve expressed on this video! Maybe that’s what led me to become a composer-jazz pianist! I’d love to share some of my work, but with your proclivity to bouts of depression, you might not be positively affected by my work (harmonically rich and asymmetric in form)! I HAVE won major competitions, but introspection doesn’t appeal to everyone! Again, Twiggy, thanks for the kind birthday message! The last day of my 70s is tomorrow... I’m glad I’ll be playing a gig in the afternoon-it’ll keep my mind off the age thing! I’m sending good vibes your way! Keep on keeping on, girl! You have Washington up ahead with Goat Rocks, Alpine Lakes and the North Cascades coming up! You’re gonna love these areas! ❤🎹🏔🌲🥰

Beautiful hike my friend, such a relaxing upload! You narrated this really nicely! Love it!

Thanks for the half hour upload, Twig! You’re awesome. Keep your head high and keep on keepin on💪🏼

Wow. 30 miles. 🎉

Once again, I love how observant you are of detail on the trail both close and far. Maybe this is part of being introverted, eh? Don't change. I just went on a cross-country train trip with my sister. We're both introverts. We had a few great long conversations in our roomette, but we also had to go up and move to the observation car for solitude from time to time. That's how we are.

Congratulations! What a fantastic accomplishment to get this far on your own two feet! Something this hard is bound to wear on you physically and mentally, just remember that the other hikers also feel worn down as well and react differently than you do, often poorly. I am loving your amazing filmography and thoughtful views of nature. I can’t wait to see what new things your amazing hike and viewpoint bring to us!

Thank you for your uplaod 🙂 Great close ups of nature as always especially the 🐝 🦋 Love the way the 🦌just ignore you☺ You were not on a girl guide trip no need to worry about others you accidently meet its not a summer camp you hiked your hike they hiked theirs‼ Looking forward to Oregon 🤩😍😘

I'm very much an introvert myself, so can definitely relate. You're such a pleasant person doing such an awesome thing. If Ever I get to do a through hike I hope I can link up with people like you, it would truly add to the experience. Happy Trails Twiggy

Congrats!!! You are doing amazing! Thanks for showing your inspiring journey. Signed fellow Introvert :)

I was relieved to see you posted once again. It's OK to be an introvert. Someday, that might change but you are perfect right now. One's life goes through changes and you have much to be proud of. I like that you think taking this hike is the best decision. It will change your life forever. You are to be admired for your tenacity. Look forward to more postings.

I totally understand the feeling you described. Many people don't put themselves in others shoes and just expect everyone to be like them. My advice is to learn to be ok with who you are and what you do. If there are things in life that we feel we want to work on, that's something we can do for ourselves, but you decide where your energy goes. (and a sneaky congrats)

Hey Thanks Love it

Congratulations Oregon, Twiggy has arrived!

One of the most recognizable of red-sap-producing trees is the eucalyptus. Eucalyptus trees such as the Eucalyptus robustus and the ironbark eucalyptus tree produce red sap when injured. This specialized sap is designed to quickly cover and coagulate around the tree's wounds, preventing infestation from insects.

Just be you. Remember, still waters run deep.

Wonderful views and trail info! 30 mile days in this terrain is awesome!! 💪 Just keep being you--don't let anyone steal your peace and joy. (Easier said than done sometimes) I appreciate you posting these videos.❤

Wow, I totally relate to your description of trail loneliness, but also introversion and the need to be alone. People drain my energy and I need alone time to recharge. Amazingly, my partner of 12 years and I are the same: we recharge each other and love being together. But we still need occasional alone time at home: me listening to music, reading, and her doing reading and game development. We both loathe having to go out and socialize, lol. I wish you well!

I find a long distance hike is all about mental toughness and not physical. You are an amazingly strong person!

The views in this video are amazing. Thanks for sharing stay safe.

So glad to see your video as I was hoping you were doing well.

Just found you post. Hang in there and you will make it just fine. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for keeping the story about your lunch experience in the video. It’s so helpful knowing that lots of people experience similar things.

Congratulations for hiking your way- tears and all and making it to the Oregon/Cali border. there is no one right way and when you look back, I bet you will realize how those tears were helping you release things you no longer needed. I love the pictures of the butterflies and bees!

Love your videos

Thank you for sharing your journey.

Hello from Holland! You are such a beautiful person. I like your 'guietness' - much more than overwelming people (I don't know if I use the right English words). Don't change yourself and be very proud of being such a nice person. I am sure those animals also l💚ve you! Nineke

Twiggy gives women a good name.

How you are is one of those things that you learn, you are breaking down some barriers. ✌🏻👊

Safe journeys. Best of luck we are proud of you. ✌🏻👊

Hang in there--you are not alone!

oh my. i would have enjoyed just being with you. have a good hike!

Fantastic video as usual. I not only enjoy your cinematography but that you share your trials and tribulations with your followers. I have no doubt you have the mental fortitude to complete the PCT. Looking forward to your next video. Hang in there.

You rock 👍 #ToughAsNails

Youre so brave for doing this trail and for posting this

Guessing your are done, or nearly so by now.... Keep rockin' it, kid! ✌😎

It is difficult to be an introvert in a world where you are expected to be extroverted. I know that very well myself. I can highly recommend that you read the book "Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain.

Glad you're doing well. You should go by Snow White because of all the critters you attract and your compassion for them. Saving a drowning bee, I won't forget that one 😉

Hey Twiggy! We are keeping pace with videos. I recently posted same sections and close day count. Videos are looking great 👍

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Yay! We get to hear from Twiggy!

Don’t know you but proud of you!!

Just stumbled across your channel, very kewl. I am curious to know and see your camp set up, tent cooking gear etc Kewl Keep on Treking ( Love that the dear just chat with you as you go by)

Stay strong 😎

Not only did you walk from Mexico to Canada, you did it fast enough to beat the fire that broke out near the border in July

I just can't get over 25 miles a day for most days, super long days

I get told I'm weird a lot. I take it as a compliment - even when it isn't intended to be. "Normal" after all is just another word for totally Fking average. I like that I see things differently, that I slow down enough to hear things others won't, and that I can see solutions to problems other people might not find. But being different scares other people - and fear causes ppl to do and say some pretty ugly things. Their fear is not a reflection of who you are. Now that you're in OR you're basically in my backyard. I'm SW WA born and raised so everything from Klamath to Puget Sound feels like home compared to anywhere else. I hope you get blue skies as you begin to creep into waterfall country ;)

With the people that blab a lot, and theres a lot of talkers that just talk to make noise. Effem Doing good twigg. Powering through.

What are the impacts of the fire closures to your PCT thru hike in to your last stretch towards the Canadian border? PS you might be introvert but you made your camera to speak for you in this episode! I really loved it!

Way to go ! Bless !❤

Hum, I've read a lot of the comments about being and assuming being an introvert person! A lot of supportive people; just loved it. But thinking further, I'm just concluding that you are not that much an introvert person! Exposing this wonderful youtube channel with so much short but so meaningful comments is way far from being introvert. Also, you're so connected to your felling in the blend of this extreme adventure in such gorgeous and wild nature, dealing with bears, pain, exhaustion, etc. And all this with so much depth in the reflexions about it. My point is maybe you're not that an introvert, but a balance person that is well connected to emotions and thinking, that is deeper that average people; and the way you take care of the wildlife tells a lot about it. Maybe you just a balanced person living in an extrovert society that congratulates people that say more than they think, that make noise and bully others. I'm 60 now, I just love to go deep in thoughts, get introvert for a while, but then go out and share with others. I feel this is balance. Sometimes, I have to smile to some noisy people that like to make me feel lunatic. But I stand my ground, not impressed. Sometimes I have to explain that great things take time, and smile, because I understand we are not all the same. But we must respect our own internal "speed", go with the flow, the balance. Conclusion, you're so awesome, just love your videos and comments, keep on going and stand your "balanced" ground! Cheers from Canada.

Did you finish the PCT? We lost you after episode 18. We hope you made!!😃

A lot of long distance hikers suffer from trail depression and exhaustion and there is a simple and easy fix for that. Popular trail food is really bad for the body long term especially those with corn based sugar found in a lot of products. Exertion and incomplete nutrition can cause all kinds of problems with the senses, mental fitness, muscle, tendon, cardiopulmonary irregularities to name just a few of the challenges. Carbs are important but sadly, sugar is not. Try focusing on B vitamins but, the best thing is complete vitamins and minerals and if you can’t get that from your food plan, carry some good quality daily vitamins and minerals for women. Finally, introverts are the highest expression of advanced humans. Revel in your special powers as an introvert and beautiful human. Just remember being an introvert never prevents you from being kind, grateful, and gracious to others for their companionship, or acts of kindness. We introverts don’t need others to validate us, we validate ourselves. Today, most people only know how to invalidate others in order to make their shallow lives seem better. Don’t fall for it. Your internal universe is the best place you’ll ever live. What you gain from your introspection, contemplation, and experience is a deep wisdom you can share, or use to live well and content. Thank you for sharing your life in an authentic and captivating way. I wish you the very best.
