2,000 KM on Foot From Oslo to the North Cape (With a 4-Year-Old, Husband, and Dog) + Making Big Life Changes With Ingrid Alm
Description
Do you ever feel called to do something different? Do you want to make a BIG change in your life?
Ingrid Alm and her family (husband, son, and dog) embarked on a human-powered adventure right from their doorstep in Oslo, Norway, to Nordkapp, Europe's northernmost accessible point by car. Their 2,000+ KM journey included walking, skiing, cycling, rowing, and even paddle boarding!
In this episode, Ingrid shares the lessons they learned on this epic trip and how a need to shake things up from “normal” life led to their adventure. You’ll hear plenty of advice on how to kickstart your own journey of a lifetime, insight into making big changes, and much more.
What trip or decision have you been considering? What’s been holding you back? I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
