The Distance Hiker Podcast Episode 31 – Quit your job and go hiking with Emma Schroeder

Humans of the Trail

In this week's episode of the Distance Hiker Podcast, we spoke with Emma, a coast walker who blogs about her journey on her site. Emma is currently on a journey to walk around the coast of the United Kingdom, with the goal of improving her mental health.

During the conversation, Emma shared with us the various reasons why she decided to take on this challenge, including her belief that walking is great for mental health and the desire to experience the beauty of the UK's coastlines. One of the things that stood out to me was how open and honest emma was when when it came to sharing the highs and lows of her walk, plans for the future and the Marge Simpson tattoo on her leg...

Emma also talked about the beautiful interactions she's had with other people who are also taking on the challenge. Her walk is not just about the physical journey, but also the human connections she's made along the way.

This is a super fun episode, with some entertaining blunders and strange diversions. I'm sure you will enjoy it as a break from the usual Distance Hiker programming and I would love to hear your thoughts.
