Hey! It's never too early to prepare and plan ahead. I'm Luxembear from ... Luxembourg/Europe. If everything goes according to plan, you'll see me on the trail starting Feb/March 2019. I already put in for my leave and I was hoping to start a threat for next year. I did a few long distance trails in Europe, but nothing exceeding 150 miles. I've also been on the AT for a few day hikes already. But the time has come to get real about a thru hike . I've started this threat in hopes of getting to know a few people who are committed to hike the AT in 2019 and who can help each other out with planning and staying on goal.

PS. As far as I know, I may be the first person from Luxembourg ever attempting a thru hike. Or does any of you ever met another fellow hiker from our tiny Grand-Duchy? (No, it's not Germany)
