Melanie A. Wood is a writer, speaker, and adventurer who believes in saying yes to a dream, even when the path is uncertain. Through her storytelling, she helps others embrace challenges, overcome fear, and step into the unknown with confidence. Her debut book, Thou Shalt Not Shat on Bees and Other Lessons Learned on the Appalachian Trail, brings to life the raw, unpredictable, and often hilarious reality of thruhiking. It is a journey of resilience, self-discovery, and deep human connection. What started as a test of endurance became a profound journey of love in every sense. Melanie inspires readers to trust themselves, take risks, and find meaning in the unexpected. She shares her experiences in a way that makes adventure feel possible for anyone, whether they dream of hiking a long trail or simply want to step outside their comfort zone. The Appalachian Trail was just the beginning. She continues seeking new adventures to explore, learn, and share her reflections with readers. Melanie’s guiding philosophy: “Don't be afraid to be afraid. Do it anyway.” When she is not hiking, Melanie is growing her business, Soul Ease Wellness in Corning, New York, preparing for her next adventure, and writing her next book. She also regularly connects with readers through public speaking events and book signings.
