Hello, and welcome to number 131! This week, I am joined by Kathy Elkind, a writer, walker and eater! Kathy walked the whole length of the GR5 in Europe, which is 1400 miles long, and she has written a book about it, which is what we discuss today. Kathy gives us insight in how to prepare for a trip of this magnitude, why she was doing it, tips on what to pack, her feelings on how she tackled the Alps and much more! Please check out the links to her website and places to buy her book; it is a great read! Happy wanderlust. Enjoy and be inspired!
