Kat Sack here! Sometimes Katastrophic Sackrilege to the running community, but most definitely The Mountain Lioness to those who follow and join my adventures. I currently call Tallahassee, FL home. The mountains are my favorite place to be and explore but given my location, I dive into other types of rad places too!

I created this blog as a personal project to document my adventures. Photos are great, but I love text describing more of the story and to recall what I have learned. I am no expert at outdoorsy activities, but I learn as I go! If you end up here, I hope you can get something out of it.

My original focus was on backpacking, hiking, camping, kayaking, and mountain biking. I have thus shifted the scope as I discovered my love for National and State Parks. I have the National Parks Passport and the Florida State Parks passport which have allowed me to discover places I originally would never have seen. Now I write about national monuments, history, run-cations, etc.

At some point I hope to dive into personal growth as well with topics including self-sufficiency and improvement, turning boredom into adventure, steps to heal my body and mind, and overcoming social adversities.

Life is an adventure. Go outside. Pay attention to all that is around you. Get lost in the moment. Everything has a story. Listen for it, even if you do not speak the same language.

Posts By Location - Ecuador


Source
Ecuador is approximately the size of the state of Colorado and is comprised of four geographical regions. The three continental regions are Costa (coast), Sierra (mountains), and Oriente (The Amazon). The fourth, insular (relating to or from an island) region is The Galapagos Islands!

In addition to the four geographical regions, there are twenty provinces in Ecuador. The Galápagos Province became the 20th and final province on 1973-02-18, which means when I arrived on 2018-02-18 they were celebrating their provincial anniversary.

My posts are grouped first by geographical region and then by provinces.
