Kit interviews Tracy Pawelski, author of One Woman's Camino and her recently released One Woman in the Himalayas, about her Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.

Not everything went as planned.  We discuss her trials and tribulations, and how adventure travel in general often goes awry, but that's ok.  The best travel stories come from the unexpected.

We learn about the Annapurna Circuit, and hear Tracy's story about how she got into long distance hiking when she walked the El Camino del Santiago in Spain with her daughter, followed by Scotland's West Highland Way with her husband.

See photos and the complete SHOW NOTES here.

Today’s show is a follow up three months later to see what they’ve learned, what they expect we will see for the next twelve months onward, and advice for travel in the future.
