Rosie Enos (Walking Wounded)
 Rosie started off her adventures roaming jagged lava fields as a young child growing up in Hawaii. Later her life path crossed with one Ted the Chicken, her trusty sidekick, in the woods of Kentucky. This is where she spent her summers leading countless kids stomping through creeks, crawling through caves, and searching for moon pigs. Consequently, the desert called. Wide open spaces and stars created a serious setting for thought provoking, life changing, young people type work. During the winter months, Rosie can be found chasing litters of puppies, scooping poop, and managing to stay upright (most of the time) behind a team of Alaskan Huskies. In the summer of 2010, she got a chance to meander, slog, roam, navigate, tumble, and hike along the Pacific Crest Trail for five, awe-inspiring months. Rosie is a WMA Wilderness First Responder.

Todd Soprych (HalfBrew)
Bio: I can be best described as a former architect with an expensive unused college education with an expertise in living in a sleeping bag.  I am not really qualified for this women’s focused backpacking program due to my gender assignment, but thanks to Rosie, she has bestowed a honorary female gender so I can take part in this great experience. Her only complaints are that at times I can be a “Chatty Kathy” and my big round head eclipses her sun shiny day.
Here is what I have to offer:
- Hiked on the Pacific Crest Trail 2010
- I have been guiding trips for Fitpacking through various National Park systems.
- Spent two winter seasons as a Sled Dog Musher
- Hiked the entire Appalachian Trail 2007/2008
- A great appreciation for the outdoors
- I am an avid cycling and backpacking enthusiast
- Most Importantly I am a Professional 9 to 5 desk job dodger
- Highly Qualified Poop Scooper

Guide Disclaimer:
Roam’s trips are designed specifically for women. With this focus we hope to develop programming that will fit the needs of novice through expert female backpackers and hikers. This being said, we believe that it is important to have guides that are compassionate, knowledgeable, and hard working. We do not hire guides based on gender alone but instead on the qualities and skills they possess. Roam is owned by Todd Soprych and Rosie Enos, they are passionate about the work they do in the field, so you will see both male and female guides out on trips. With this being said, there will always be at least one female guide on all Roam trips. We will provide you with guides that strive to create a unique, dynamic trip that focus on group and individuals needs, allowing you to walk away with the confidence to adventure out on your own.
