Sensatious Hiatus is the name of my YouTube channel where I upload a variety of travel and hiking-related videos. My name is Mike (my trail name is “Just Mike”) and this is just a simple blog that will accompany my YouTube channel. I’m new to blogging and I’m just going to ease into it. Below is a little more info about me.
I’m from the Nashville, TN area and have traveled and hiked a fair amount. My “hiker resume” includes a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, an end-to-end walk of the Larapinta Trail in Australia, working for 2 seasons as an Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner in Connecticut and Massachusetts, an attempted thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (with over 600 miles hiked in California), and a few dozen other short backpacking trips in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand.
As of 2024, I’m currently living back in the Nashville, TN area with family, but I’ll note that I’ve also lived in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arizona, and down under in Australia for a year on a “work and holiday visa.” Right now, I don’t really have a clue what’s next for me, but I think it helps to write down my thoughts and just keep moving forward. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of ramble-filled posts, but hopefully you can find something of value scattered within my written excrement.
