Field notes from the trail (with snack breaks)
This isn’t a blog full of polished itineraries or influencer vibes.
These are real trail stories — the kind where I’m sweating up a hill, crossing rivers with wet socks, or camping solo and feeling everything all at once.
Some of these trips were magical. Some were tough. Most were both.
I share them because they remind me that slow, messy, meaningful adventure still matters — maybe even more than ticking off summits or chasing the perfect photo.
So if you’re into long trails, honest reflections, and learning the hard way (with snacks, always), then you’re in the right place.
*No, I didn’t get mugged by that monkey.
🥾 Fjällräven Classic Patagonia and visiting Torres del Paine
Join me behind the scenes at the first Fjällräven Classic in Patagonia, where I volunteered alongside hikers from around the world. From setting up tents and sharing mate to witnessing emotional finish lines—plus my own solo adventure to Torres del Paine. A story of connection, wild places, and finding peace in the mountains.
🌶️ Start Here: The Trail That Made Me
Hola, soy Karin 👋
From wildlife vet to ultra runner, bartender to plastic pollution warrior—this is the (sometimes spicy, sometimes sweaty) story of how a Latina from Chile carved her own trail across the world. In this first post, I share the unexpected twists, solo travels, awkward party moments (looking at you, Juan), and why I believe adventure isn’t reserved for the elite—it’s for anyone bold enough to say yes. Welcome to Chili Trails—where we run, ride, hike, and reflect.
