On Saturday January 31st, weโll embark on a conifer tour of Queens, beginning in the old growth Forest Park, winding through Juniper Valley and Flushing Meadows, then culminating in Flushing with hot soup and cozy conversation.
FYI this is a 12 hour stroll spanning 10+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point along the way ๐
All RSVP'd "yes" and "maybe" attendees will receive a link at 10am to my realtime location for the entire hike, along with my phone number, so you can see exactly where we are on google maps. If you text me when you plan to join, we can keep an eye out for ya ๐ค

๐ฟ About Hyggehiking ๐ฟ
Hygge means "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being."
"Hyggehiking" is my own special blend, where we engage in that conviviality while trekking through green spaces throughout our city.
I host Hygge gatherings so we can come together to make new friends, discuss fun projects we're eager to work on, dive into deep, thoughtful discussions, and meet people who can help make NYC feel like a smaller, closer-knit community. We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls.
