Journey Fleishman

Hey there- I’m Journey Fleishman! I recently completed a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail from March until August 2023 (with the same Sawyer the whole time). I attend college at Western Colorado University and study Outdoor Recreation and Education. I am a part of the Mountain Rescue Team and work at my favorite coffee shop in town. I adore adventures in creation with those I love, Thai food and burritos, watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, trail running, peak bagging 14ers, drawing camp; journaling, jammin’ to my favorite band Caamp, hammock naps, and drinking all the tea and coffee.
