Trails && Ales, An Introduction

Hello and welcome to Trails and Ales! My name is Martha and I am a Physical Therapist and aspiring Software Engineer. My goal of this blog is to explore Front End Engineering while sharing my passions for hiking and beer drinking in New Hampshire where I live with my boyfriend, Ben! Thanks so much for visiting. Lets get started!

Explore Where You Live

COVID-19 has been a challenging time, but it has also inspired Ben and I to look introspectively and explore our beautiful little state. New Hampshire may be a small state, but it is full of possibilities! Ben and I are on a mission to complete the NH Terrifying 25, a list of the most challenging 25 hiking trials in the state! We love to pair our hikes with a brew, and are also on a mission to visit every single brewery in NH recognized by the NH Brewer's Association.
