Hello! My name is Isaiah Shields

I'm spending a year walking across the United States, in an effort to learn and grow as much as I can.

I began walking in Utah. There I graduated from University and after working for a few years I can only recall thinking one day that it would be interesting to go on a really long walk.

Eventually I looked up, "What are the westernmost and easternmost points of the 48 states?". In May 2021, having never shaken the original idea to walk, I quit my job and left what I knew behind.

The real objective was not to successfully walk from coast to coast, but rather to understand the world better: meeting people, listening to their stories, and understanding new perspectives.

So rather than fly or drive to one of those two points I looked up and then walk to the other, I decided I would first walk to Cape Alava in Washington state (the westernmost point).

Upon reaching the cape, the goal is to then turn around and eventually make it to Maine and the West Quoddy-head lighthouse (the nation's easternmost point).

While I can't articulate well why I feel so driven to do this, I do know it has made me feel alive, and I'm trying to better understand the call. Lastly, I'm trying to share the things I learn and experience as I do so.

While I'm not a skilled story teller yet, I'm sure I'll improve, and I'm happy and content to be doing my best.

This is a ".5" episode, covering a side topic. Follow along for more! And be sure to catch up from the beginning for the whole picture.

Live Authentically,
Live Intentionally,
Live Courageously
