Greatest Hits: Around America and Beyond With Renata Chlumska (+ How to Meet More People While Traveling)

We’re pulling past episodes from the archives to highlight Women’s History Month! This episode was originally published in April 2016.

Renata Chlumska is a Swedish and Czech adventurer with a long and impressive list of expeditions, including:

• Bicycling from Nepal to Sweden
• Summiting a mountain over 8,000 meters without supplemental oxygen
• A motorcycle trip from India to Sweden
• Climbing Mt. Everest and finishing the Seven Summits
• Completing her “Around America Adventure” (439 days, 11,300 miles by kayak and bicycle solo)

In this episode, Renata and I discuss solo travel, planning big adventures, and how she turned her adventure into a career (and how you can, too!). She also shares how travel can be a way to process tragedy and why your exotic place as a traveler is just around somebody else’s corner.
