How does hearing someone else's story change the way you think about the world?
Today I am joined by author and climate change activist Devi Lockwood to talk about the story-fueled cycling journey that brought her to 20 countries, spanning 6 continents, and eventually lead her to write her first book, 1001 Voices on Climate Change.
If you love story-telling or have ever wondered what it'd be like to do a 5-year bike tour, then you do not want to miss this episode. Devi shares the roots of her inspiration, how she turned her vision into a reality, insights she gained along the way, and so much more.
Do you have a passion project that has influenced your travels? I'd love to hear more about it and hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
