Appalachian Trail 2024 - An Irishman’s First impression of Pennsylvania

Thank you for watching. This is my support page. Thank you so much to the kind folk who ‘buy me a coffee’ as encouragement for the time and effort I put into making these videos while walking the trail🙏 ko-fi.com/derekcullen

I never imagined when I first started watching you that I would see you walk through states in my part of the US.😊 It is so wonderful to hear your thoughts about the areas you travel through and to see you walk the streets in Pennsylvania as you walked the streets in Ireland and hear your insights. I was just in southern Vermont in the National Forest where the trail passes through and knowing your footsteps would soon be there just made me smile. What a beautiful video and all the more endearing as your footsteps bring you closer to my stomping grounds! Yes, change while hard at times, is important. It is what keeps our lives expansive, interesting, challenging and wonderful.❤

Beautifully said Derek You are an inspiration May God continue protecting you always ❤❤

I know you don't want this hike to end. Well, I believe I can speak for all of us, we don't want your hike to end either. You have captivated us with every video. You have invited us to share this journey and we are there with you Derek.

Best time of the day for a Derek Cullen video is first thing in the morning .... Thanks for the video.

Beautiful, lyrical and very Irish. The trail lifts you and you lift the trail. This is the best AT video I have seen out of hundreds. Be at peace and safe, yours Shuttle.

Your stoicism is to be admired, Derek, with the heat and midges! And your message of being flexible in the face of change is so on point for what humanity is going through right now. Best not to fight change but use it's momentum to manifest the kind of life we want! A beautiful one! Loved that you held the sunbeam in the palm of your hand. Truly inspiring!❤

I look forward to your videos every week. So glad you found some new friends to hike with.

Take good care of your feet!! Another adventure, then another, then another. Life is exactly what we make it 🌀🦋

What a funny ending! Even a wall of rock won't stop this Dubliner. Keep 'er lit Derek, onwards and upwards

Thank you Derek. Love your video.

Derek- the only thing constant is change. We only need to allow ourselves to be present to experience what is possible.

Damn! those rocks at the end! - Best of luck Derek!

Love your videos Derek, some beautiful words as always. I think I really needed to hear those words toward the end of the video today, thank you. Loved the snake inside a tree, terrifying but I nice bit of nature at the same time 😊 keep battling over those rocks and stay strong my friend.
