My name is Leanne Baratier, and I am a graphic designer who truly appreciates fine art. I am also an avid hiker. I have not always been a very active person, but I have learned that what makes me happy has changed as I get older. I went from drawing every day and expressing myself through my artwork to looking for an adventure.
I want to challenge myself physically and explore this beautiful world we live in. Over the past two years, I have taken up hiking. I have hiked many of the New Hampshire 4000 footers as well as tackling the 52 With a View list. Each time I complete one of the mountains on a list, I feel like I am doing something bigger than myself. It takes preparation to make sure you're safe, but it is also taking care to leave no trace. Protecting the fragile environment that is the White Mountain National Forest is vital so we can all appreciate New Hampshire's beauty!
I always thought that I wanted to leave New Hampshire and live somewhere else, but I have started to realize there is so much to this state that I do not know and so much exploring left to do!
I hope this brief introduction has given you an insight into who I am and my passion.
