At 16 years old, Saanvi Sita Mylavarapu has hiked more miles than most of us in our adulthood. Having covered over 1000 miles at over 25 parks here in the U.S., and 170 kilometers throughout France, Italy and Switzerland, her passion for the outdoors has led her to guide others in connecting with nature and become an Ambassador of the National Park Trust, hosting events such as the Kids to Parks Day.
In our conversation, Saanvi talks about the natural connection between humans when collectively connecting with nature; how to encourage youth to have an amazing outdoor experience even in the midst of cellphones, tablets, and social media. She also shares her perspective on the state of the planet, and simple ways people can become conservationists for future generations to enjoy nature as well.
To connect with Saanvi, see some of her MANY hikes, and hear some of her insights on conservation, follow her on Instagram (@chalkbagsntents).
