Summary
When Angela was ready for a new chapter in life, she wanted to go big. The PCT, AT, or other thru-hiking trails weren’t enough. She “wanted the world”. With nothing but a wheeled cart and her imagination, she set off on what is truly the adventure of a lifetime, a 5-year walk around the world.Â
She recently crossed 20,000 miles and is back in the US, on her way home to Bend, Oregon. Also, her 72-year young mother is currently keeping her company via bicycle.
Angela is also walking with a purpose to raise $20,000 to build a safe shelter for girls saved from gender violence and sex-trafficking in India.Â

| 0:00.0 | I'm going to choose to be brave here and do it because if there's no risk involved, then it's |
| 0:05.3 | not being brave. Whatever it is we're facing in our life, if there's risk and we're moving |
| 0:10.1 | forward, then we're choosing to be courageous, even in the smallest little things we do in the day. |
| 0:18.4 | This is the Adventure Sports Podcast. |

| 1:06.8 | listeners, so it's great to know that it's worth at least, we like to think we're at least |
| 1:10.8 | half as entertaining as Netflix. So that's why we suggest five bucks a month. I don't even know |
| 1:16.0 | what Netflix is up to now. But anyway, if you'd like to support us, patreon.com slash adventure |
