We have a new bonus episode this week featuring an amazing guest from Colorado, her name is Em and you can follow her on Instagram @emily_goes_exploring

In this episode, Em shares with us what’s like moving from the Midwest to the Rocky Mountains. She shares some of her memorable 14ers and takes us across the globe by sharing about her adventures in Costa Rica, South Africa, and Europe. She also shares about an amazing trek that she’ll be starting at the beginning of September across the Atlantic, thru-hiking the scenic West Highland Way in Scotland.

She’s currently fundraising to help raise funds for The Cairn Project grants program, which offers funding to local groups around the country that are connecting girls and gender expansive youth to opportunities to learn in outdoor spaces.
