#65 - Marie Draws The PCT
Marie-Pier Tremblay is a graphic artist/illustrator from Montreal, Canada, who began her hike of the PCT in April 2019. We connected after my wife hired her to illustrate my PCT terminus photo as a birthday present. After receiving the gift and hearing about how awesome she was to speak with, I got on the ol’ gram, shot her an invitation, and here we are!
P.S. This interview occurred before Marie&aposs hike.
You&aposll love this episode if you’re curious about what a hiker goes through leading up to a long trail!
