Video editor Peter Hochhauser loves his job, but like many of us he felt the desire to break free into the wild. So, during the Spring of 2016, he hopped on a plane from Austria and flew out to Southern California to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. With very little hiking experience, he endured significant challenges along the entirety of the trail, but the people he met kept him motivated. Follow his journey to the Canadian border and find more from him on his website and Instagram.
