I want to do a thru-hike next year, but I don't graduate until late May. My parents are paying for me to go on a big trip to Greece and Turkey as a grad present, and won't be back until mid-ish June. I'm thinking that's way too laye to start a thru-hike. Should I try it anyways, or take a semester off of college and just start my thru-hike in April 2016?
