Summary

Martin welcomes published author and award-winning essayist Marianne C. Bohr to the Papa Bear Hikes podcast. Listen to hear Marianne share her insight regarding travel, making friends along the way, aging, and a glimpse into her book: The Twenty: One Woman's Trek Across Corsica on the GR20 Trail. This is an episode for everyone!

Book Summary: Marianne Bohr and her husband, both about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica, the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe.

About the author: Marianne C. Bohr, published author and award-winning essayist, married her high school sweetheart and travel partner. She has two grown children and is the eldest of 11. She follows her own advice and hits the road at every opportunity. Marianne lives in Park City, Utah, where, after decades in publishing, and many years of teaching middle school French, she skis, hikes, and writes.
