Hello,

This is JaeHong Hwang(aka.Gallant) from South Korea.

I am an adventurer and photographer who has successfully conquered the three iconic long-distance trails of the United States, namely the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), Continental Divide Trail (CDT), and the Appalachian Trail (AT), making me the youngest Asian to achieve this remarkable feat. These trails have not only tested my physical endurance but have also allowed me to connect with the diverse landscapes and cultures that make up the heart of America.

My passion for exploration led me to embark on a thrilling journey last year as I hiked the Arizona Trail and Colorado Trail. These experiences provided me with a profound appreciation for the beauty of nature and the sense of accomplishment that comes with pushing my boundaries.

As I set my sights on my next adventure, I am currently planning a remarkable bicycle journey from Alaska to the southern reaches of Argentine Patagonia. This upcoming expedition promises to be an exciting chapter in my journey, allowing me to capture the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and unique moments through the lens of my camera.

With a deep love for the outdoors and a keen eye for photography, I am not only seeking personal challenges but also aiming to share the raw beauty of the world with others. My experiences have taught me that every trail, every path, and every pedal stroke is an opportunity to learn, grow, and inspire.

Thank you for considering my introduction. I look forward to the adventures that lie ahead and the stories that I will capture along the way.

Best regards,

Gallant.
