Autorenporträt

Allie Donaldson, aka Taogoi, had no experience backpacking prior to her hike. After her grandmother died, she decided she would long distance hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. She decided to document the extraordinary experience through poetry and found The Art Of Getting Over It; Taogoi. Her experiences in life had no chance to compare to learning the lessons of the trail; pushing through pain and having to grow up fast in the intense year of 2019. Abigail Folsom was raised in the Puget Sound, braiding dandelion chains as a child and hiking the mountains with her older sister Anlya as a young adult. Abby feels her most alive when surrounded by the tall forests and the trickling of waterfalls along the trails, and she continues to find peace there. She has found nature journaling and painting to be a place for her where she can feel clear, calm, and connected to a world larger than herself. Amidst the beauty of growing up in Western Washington, there came great pain and loss to Abigail's life. Due to a battle with depression, her older sister Anlya died by suicide at age 24. For Abigail, moving through the loss of her sister and working on the art and vision for 1100 Miles has been a journey of recovery. She sees fulfillment in this project of sharing raw humanness and growth. The illustration process for this book started just a year after Anlya died, so working on a life affirming and self-nurturing book during this time has positively impacted Abigail to choose the soul led path in life, and to be inspired by others in life seeking their own adventures.
