Derick’s comments from the Connecting Readers and Writers group.

Hey everyone! I’m Derick Lugo — an author of two memoirs about thru-hiking, books that prove I’m very committed to walking extremely long distances for reasons I still can’t fully explain.

I’m a keynote speaker, book addict, and thru-hiker who keeps saying “never again” and then immediately signs up for another trail like I’ve learned absolutely nothing.

I love talking books, writing, hiking, and any story that involves questionable decisions with great views. Excited to connect with fellow readers and writers here!
