Summary

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.

0:00.0	For me, I don't know, it was kind of this surrender to the zigzag flow of having a general direction, but not knowing exactly where it was going to lead me.
0:08.8	Today, I have a wonderful conversation to share with you.
0:11.9	I got to chat with Devi Lockwood, who spent five years traveling in 20 countries on six continents to document 1001 stories on water and climate change. How did this
0:23.4	whole project start? How did she get it funded? Why did she do it? You'll hear all that and
0:28.6	much more. What I find fascinating is how she's been able to bring climate change and water
0:36.0	issues around the globe to life through
0:38.7	these stories. And we talk about that in this interview because a lot of times we read
0:44.3	newspaper articles, we get the statistics and the numbers, but they don't really have the human
0:50.1	element. And that was a big initiative for Devi was to get those human stories to find out how
0:56.9	this is really impacting the world. And of course, she has plenty of travel adventures to share
1:01.4	along the way. She talks about how she started with bike touring. Is that something you can do?
1:06.5	Is that something anybody can do? She'll share her advice around that. She shares her best advice for how we as
1:12.2	individuals can make a difference when it comes to climate change. She talks about how she
1:17.1	parlayed this project into a career in journalism, why she considers solo travel to be the most
1:25.6	social form of traveling and just a ton more.
1:30.2	Devi's awesome.
1:30.8	She's written about science, climate change, and technology for the New York Times,
1:34.0	The Guardian, Slate, and the Washington Post, among many others.
1:37.9	A lot of takeaways in this chat.
1:39.5	I know you're going to love it.
1:40.6	Plus, I want to give a shout out to somebody in this community, a listener from Germany who is making the plunge into travel. All that and more happening today, right now.
1:51.6	So buckle up, strap in, thanks for being here, and welcome to the Zero to Travel Podcast, my friend.
