Send a textWhy did Largo and I hike the Appalachian Trail?Well, it's like opening a whole new world! This trail is tough, really tough. But you know what's amazing? Even though not many make it through, folks still want to give it a shot. Everyone has their own reasons for taking on this adventure. And you know what it teaches us? It's not just about walking a path. It's about getting away from the stress of work, finding balance with family, especially with kids around, and most importantly, learning how to live better.Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle.
