Episode 11: Eliza Sampey's tips for women's solo backcountry adventures
Manage episode 321863193 series 3004417
Eliza Sampey spends a lot of time in the woods alone. And she wants other women to know that they can do it, too. It can be intimidating to head off on adventures alone, but with the right preparation and a little bit of research, Sampey says traveling solo can be safe, fun, and relaxing.
After countless backcountry trips, both domestic and international, Sampey has become an expert on solo travel as a woman. She knows what to look out for, how to set yourself up for camping success in the woods or in town, and how to get familiar with local customs before you head out.
In the latter part of the show, Sampey also gives us an update on her recovery progress after a severe crash prevented her from getting back on the bike for an extended period of time. She talks about her concussion and its after-effects, and what she's doing to get herself back onto the bike and off on adventures.
Theme music: "This Year" by Angela Sheik. Check out her new single, "Under The Sun," on BandCamp.
