I took my friend snowshoeing for the first time! Oh, and that friend just so happens to be the Instagram hiking sensation Andy Neal of @andyfilmsandhikes! Andy is an outdoor enthusiast, professional hiker, model and influencer who blew up on Instagram after he made a reel about going for a "stupid hike" for his "stupid mental health!" Since then Andy has used his viral platform to be a champion for the benefits of going outside on mental and physical health, as well as an advocate for more inclusion and representation in the outdoors for plus sized people! Most importantly, to me, he is a great friend and a wonderful human. I was so excited to take him on his first ever snowshoeing trip and teach him how to snowshoe like a pro, even though the hike I chose for his first time snowshoeing was, well... watch the video to see 😅.
