David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace was an acclaimed American writer known for his fiction, nonfiction, and critical essays that explored the complexities of consciousness, irony, and the human condition. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative literary voices of his generation, Wallace is perhaps best known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which was listed by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005. His unfinished final novel, The Pale King, was published posthumously in 2011 and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Born in Ithaca, New York, Wallace was raised in Illinois, where he excelled as both a student and a junior tennis player—a sport he later wrote about with sharp insight and humor. H

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri, or simply Dante (May 14/June 13 1265 – September 13/14, 1321), is one of the greatest poets in the Italian language; with the comic story-teller, Boccaccio, and the poet, Petrarch, he forms the classic trio of Italian authors. Dante Alighieri was born in the city-state Florence in 1265. He first saw the woman, or rather the child, who was to become the poetic love of his life when he was almost nine years old and she was some months younger. In fact, Beatrice married another man, Simone di' Bardi, and died when Dante was 25, so their relationship existed almost entirely in Dante's imagination, but she nonetheless plays an extremely important role in his poetry. Dante attributed all the heavenly virtues to her soul and imagi

Esther Parry

Esther Parry is just an ordinary middle aged English woman who has always suspected that there’s more to life than money and the comforts of, let’s say, a roof over your head and food on the table.
Despite achieving a first-class honours degree in Biological Anthropology at the age of 49, she refuses to be drawn into the rat race, or let her life be defined by it. This is baffling to many people…particularly to her mother!

If you asked her for advice, she’d say three things:
Always find something to be thankful for – but sometimes you have to look REALLY hard.
Always find something to laugh at – even if it's yourself!

Ryan Benz

While successful by most external measures, by his early thirties, Ryan Benz felt empty and exhausted, dissatisfied with his life, and eager to strengthen his connection to himself and the natural world. In the prime of his life, he chose a nontraditional path, diving headfirst into the world of mindfulness and letting go of everything contributing to his unhappiness-including the career he had spent over ten years building. Turning to the healing power of nature, Benz's trek took him over two thousand miles through the woods from Georgia to Maine, and with each step traveled, he returned a little closer to his true self. Ryan now spends his time sharing his story to show others they have the power to choose their own path.

Audrey Payne

Hi, I'm Audrey Payne. I'm an avid hiker and backpacker, and in 2018, after recovering from a debilitating spinal injury, I quit my job in Washington, D.C., to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Then, I wrote a memoir about it! Now, I live in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, where I get outdoors every chance I get. Check out my trail memoir, "Where the Rhododendrons Bloom: A Thru-Hiking Adventure on the Appalachian Trail" to learn what it's REALLY like to hike the AT and what happens if you dare to follow your wildest dreams.
