Do you feel different coming off the trail and back into "normal" life? I've heard thru-hiking described like a drug - once you come back, you're always wondering in the back of your mind when/how you can get back to the trail. Would you say that's true?
Also, how social is the experience? Did you often come across others and did you ever feel threatened by any of them?
You're an inspiration, by the way. Hope to make it out there myself, one day.
