I got the job 😳 Where I’ve been + channel update = is this goodbye?

[@luckyotter623]

Hey Stella, I hope you are okay. You haven't posted in ages and I don't see you on Backpacking TV either. Please check in so we can stop worrying.

[@lisa_eeyore]

We miss you Stella! Hope you're okay!

[@buffyvachon8026]

Are you ok? I see you’re not with Backpacking tv anymore, I hope things are good. 🥰

[@colleenbreining624]

Do you have a new KZbin channel? Congratulations 🎉

[@RickINFJ]

Stella on PBS! 😁 What a roller-coaster of difficult events post AT. You made it through and now look at you! Post when you feasibly can here Stella, and keep your soul charged. The Stella intro music followed by a "Good morning"...good stuff right there. 😊 Congratulations ✌️

[@MrMorton]

Outstanding! I'm so glad to hear that you were perfectly selected to be the host of this project! How super exciting! I hope your life continues to be a safe and beautiful adventure! 🌺🧡

[@susanlevine9092]

Our friendships are important, and always valuable, but sometimes not forever...they're just one part of our entire journey...which leaves us open to new people and experiences. A butterfly cannot hang onto being a caterpillar! I have watched Eric Hanson and Epic Trails for years and always have enjoyed his immersing himself in different cultures and countries while hiking/other outside activities, and I hope you'll continue with this, but, really, bring your own Stella vibe to things and shake it up, if you have the ability to do it a little differently, why not? Obviously we've all loved watching your thru-hikes and videos, you're doing something right!

[@StellaHikes]

🥰 Thank you for the thoughtful response Susan I completely agree and appreciate your encouragement

[@flybyguy1450]

Not sure what happened with backpackingtv, but the fact they removed your videos is worrisome. Hope all is well. You're a beautiful soul and we will follow you and support you in whatever adventures you take on next. Nothing but love 💜

Here in SC, Epic Trails is available on Bally Sports South (Channel 1729 if you have ATT U-verse) and forthcoming episodes are set to record. Since Heliconia is based in Canada, my fingers are crossed for shows that feature the Canadian Rockies (Stella summits Mt. Assiniboine! Rappels the Bugaboos, explores the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy etc.). Wherever the show takes you, I’ll be tuning in❤
