Listen now
Description
This week we are joined by Lucy Barnard who has embarked on a 30 000 km walking expedition from the southernmost point of South America to the highest point of Alaska. When she finishes, she will be the first woman, and one of only a handful of people to have ever completed it. Lucy travels only by foot, or where there are ocean crossings, she swims or kayaks. In 2019, Lucy became the first woman to have hiked the length of South America (from Argentina to Colombia) and it is our privilege & pleasure to speak to her about her current pursuit of becoming the first woman to walk the length of the Earth Connect with Lucy on Instagram (and send her this week's secret code emoji if you listened to all the way to the end: @tanglesandtail Lucy’s website & ways you can support her expedition: https://tanglesandtail.com/ BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FROM LUCY & ADAM 📚 A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles https://amzn.to/3KFneYt  The Book Thief by Markus Zusak  https://amzn.to/41wvfWw https://athleticgreens.com/adventure We are proud to have partnered with AG1 which has been part of our daily routine for the last 2 years, be it in our campervan Jits, or backpacking in Costa Rica, or here in Indonesia.
