And we do, but here’s a little backstory first.

The idea for Nero Experiences was born somewhere along the Appalachian Trail.

While I was thru-hiking the 2189 mile trail from Georgia to Maine, I came up with the idea to start Nero Coffee Hikes - a hiking guiding company focused on connecting people to nature over great coffee brewed fresh at waterfalls around Brevard, NC.

I think nature and coffee both hold this unique power of connection; By getting outside for a hike you can more easily connect to yourself, and coffee is the beverage you choose to share with others when you want to connect. So by pairing these two things, hiking + coffee, great conversations just happen. I love the sense of community it creates, and the world just needs a little more of that, right?

Okay, cool story, but why “Nero”?

ne·ro

(pronounced nē-rō)

You can think of it as “near zero. It’s a word from the long distance backpacking community that basically means a day where you may hike a few miles (near zero) and then spend the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying where you are. It’s really about balance. You can’t hike a million miles every day, you deserve a break, so Nero Experiences creates ways to you to slow down and enjoy the moment outdoors.
