Julie Urbanski

Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Julie has traveled through much of the U.S., whether on foot, via bicycle, or in a car. She has hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail, the Colorado Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail (2007, 2011, 2012, 2013/14), and bicycled down the Pacific coast from Portland, Oregon to the border of Mexico.

In addition to living in Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, California and Washington, she and her husband have lived abroad in Spain, Ethiopia, Mexico, Italy, Thailand, and Guatemala.

She is an avid runner, always chasing a faster time or a longer distance, having completed one 100 miler, four 50 milers, two 50Ks, and 20 marathons, including the Boston marathon.

Her husband is the force behind her and the impetus that lands her in unique, challenging, and otherwise dreary situations that always seem to end on a positive note of self-realization, mental strength, and the desire to do it all over again.

Julie and her husband currently live in Seattle, Washington. To read more about their past, current, and upcoming adventures, visit their website at http://urbyville.com/.
