About:  Instructor Alli Hughes

 

Profile picture of Alli Hughes, Wilderness Medicine Instructor

 

Alli shares,

"I strive to bring others closer to their goals, help them face their challenges, and explore new things.  I like to do this in an outdoor setting because I believe there is power in your surroundings.  The outdoors has a way of igniting passions and soothing souls.  Laird Hamilton stated that 'A little adrenaline a day keeps the boredom away,' and I like to practice what my mentor teaches.  By practicing and learning new skills, whether they are a new sport skill or wilderness first aid training, use that adrenaline from practicing to keep you sharp!  Meet me outside and let’s go on an adventure!"
