International hiker and writer Jen Seymour will speak at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 8, at the Macon County Public Library in Franklin.

Seymour โ€” a gear expert, blogger and nutrition advocate โ€” will share one of her eight childrenโ€™s publications. She and her husband Greg own Chica & Sunsets Hostel. Their philosophy is to work to live, not the other way around, and they continue chasing adventure โ€” not the dollar.

The program is offered by the Nantahala Hiking Club. Attendees will be entered to win a raffle valued at $25. Learn more about Jen and Greg Seymour at chicaandsunsets.com/about.
