Hey everyone,
I’m taking a gap year right now and for about a year my plan has been to do the AT in 2027. However, recently I’ve been thinking about changing my plan.

Im about to head into the field on a semester in patagonia with NOLS and I’ve been looking at their other courses. The east Africa one caught my eye with backpacking and mainly climbing Kilimanjaro. I really want to do the Africa program instead of the AT right now but the AT would also be awesome. I’m sure this subreddit is a little biased but I need help.

Please offer me any advice you can on the AT and if anyone has somehow by chance done this NOLS program let me know. Also what other subreddits should I post this in?
