In 2013, Jasmine Reese took her puppy and a violin on a bicycle tour across the United States with less than $50 in her pocket.
She was, in her words, a “chubby city girl, trying to regain self-confidence and recapture the person she thought she’d lost.” In this episode, you’ll hear about the profound acts of kindness that renewed Jasmine’s faith in humanity, how she reshaped both her body and mind, and gain insight into how your attitude defines your actions.
This is one of my top picks from the Zero To Travel archive and was originally published in 2017.
Would you go on an adventure like Jasmine? What did you take away from this episode? I’d love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
