-
- Places & Travel
This week we speak with Alison Young, aka the ‘Blissful Hiker’ - a solo long-distance backpacker. At age 58, Alison has trekked some of the world’s hardest, most challenging trails clocking up over 19,000km, across 6 continents. Most of which she has achieved in her 50s, despite suffering from health challenges.
Alison is a professional speaker, professional flutists, a writer, podcaster and has had a successful career as a radio presenter. So it should come as no surprise that she is an incredibly articulate and engaging speaker.
Topics
Insights and life learnings following Alison's years of dedication to long distance hiking
Alison's near-death experience as she almost reached the summit one of the world’s most challenging hikes. And what that has taught her about the importance of quitting
The fascinating science and philosophy of walking
All in all, we are honoured and proud to be able to share this conversation with you, wherever in the world you are listening.
