Theresa Rybchinski was raised in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, a stubborn yet vulnerable
wild woman in search of the unknown and wisdom of the musings of nature. She is driven by the

summits and climbing frozen waterfalls. When she isn’t outdoors Theresa works as Youth
Worker in the woods, passionately empowering others to advocate in the face of social
injustice. Click through to read her full interview.
Finding Place
As a child, growing up in the 70’s, that’s what it meant to be a girl, at least in some people’s eyes. I guess I never really fit in then. I ran through mud puddles, barefoot. I picked up garter snakes, and let them slither across my hands. I held toads and caught fireflies. I had grass- stained knees and wind-blown hair. I’d rather be outside riding my bicycle or running through the woods behind our house than dressing up or putting on makeup.
