Kristen

I’m Kristen! I’m originally from Toronto but I’ve lived in New York almost ten years now. I’ve always loved the outdoors and hiking and I can’t wait to start building a community of hikers here! Especially looking forward to connecting with more fat positive folks who are looking to meet other likeminded people! Hope to see you all at a hike very soon!

Hi, I’m Vanessa, I am beyond thrilled to serve as one of the ambassadors for the New York Chapter. When I first heard about Fat Girls Hiking, I was like yes! My next thought was “How can I be a part of this?”  When I heard that Summer was coming to New York I jumped at the chance of hiking along side of her. I had such a great experience hiking,  I didn’t feel intimidated or rushed or that there was a set goal other than enjoying your body in nature.
I want to feel this way forever and help others feel the same.

Hi! I was born and raised on Staten Island, and I love exploring the miles of beautiful trails that we have here. Being out in nature is so healing for me, and I would love to build a community of like-minded people to share that with! I am also interested in branching out and exploring more of NYC and even NJ or PA. I’m excited to meet you all and spend some time outdoors together!
