Today, I’m joined by Neal Moore to hear about his epic 7,500-mile canoeing adventure across America, spanning 22 months, 22 states, and 22 rivers.
Neal has been dubbed the “modern-day Huckleberry Finn,” and it’s no surprise why! In this episode, you’ll discover how a family tragedy turned his world upside down and eventually led him to a life of travel. You’ll learn about the surprising way he finances his travels, his experience with mission work in Africa and hiking in Ethiopia after battling cancer, why nature-based travel is so powerful, and, of course, plenty of stories and lessons from his incredible adventures.
Would you go on this kind of adventure? I’d love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
