I talk with a new friend (who I might know better than some of my old friends), Alex Barone. Currently, she’s living in New Mexico working as a trail worker for the National Parks Service. Before she landed there, she spent a number of years on the road after a cross-country road trip at 19 that gave her a taste for the traveling life. We talk about her childhood, growing up as an anxious kid in Pittsburgh, and how being exposed to drugs at a very early age affected her life. We address the concept of “normal” - how even the darkest situations is someone’s normal and how facing one’s mortality for the first time can shift one’s perspective. I'm really thankful for this conversation, as I think it’s a great display of what can happen when you open up and allow yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger - or however many strangers listen to this podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adirtbagsguide/support
