  • 498 Susan Jagannath – Himalayan Adventures: Fulfilling a 40-year Dream

    498 Susan Jagannath – Himalayan Adventures: Fulfilling a 40-year Dream
    2023/02/06

    I'm excited to invite this week's guest back on the show! Susan is an online friend of mine, and she’s been on the show twice before to talk about her adventures. First, we discussed the Valley of Flowers and then the Camino Inglés. Now she’s back to talk about a 40-year dream she had that she finally fulfilled.

    One of the things I love about Susan’s adventures is that she talks and writes about lesser-known places and routes, so I get to learn about new places. I hope you find this episode inspiring! Susan is a great example of someone who dreamt of a very specific adventure, and made it happen.

    About Susan Jagannath

    Susan Jagannath successfully combined a passion for reading, a love of writing and a fascination for technology, to create a career in technical writing. With over 60 technical manuals (not) to her name, she finally decided to use her writing and publishing skills for herself and publish her own books independently.

    To her mild surprise, her very niche books went bestseller regularly, that's when she realised she had a system that could help others write and publish as well.

    As an army brat and then military wife, her life included seven different schools, three universities and a couple of emergency evacuations from conflict zones. Travel and adventure were normal parts of life.

    She now believes in seizing every opportunity to have a new adventure, especially post-pandemic.

    Whether it’s camping on the beach in Australia, trekking in the Himalayas, kayaking in Queensland, whitewater rafting down the Ganges, or walking the Camino in Spain, her philosophy is to pack it into one or two weeks to create memories for a lifetime, (and disconnect from television and computer games).

    Susan is now on the next adventure of her life, traveling post-pandemic, helping corporate escapees write their first bestseller, and learning to be an awesome grandmother.

    What You'll Learn
    • How Susan fulfilled a 40-year dream about adventure in the Himalayas
    • Why you might want to plan your own Himalayan trip
    • Susan’s top tips for visiting Sandakphu and Kanchenjunga

    496 J.F. Penn – Adventures in Pilgrimage
    2023/01/23
    I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, J. F. Penn. Joanna is a friend of mine, and I’ve been listening to her fantastic podcast for over a decade now, The Creative Penn. Like me, Jo is a fan of solo walking, and she’s recently written a book on pilgrimage. While I’ve done various long-distance trails in England, I’ve never done a pilgrimage. The Camino de Santiago has been on my list of things to do since 1996 when I first read Paulo Coelho’s book about it, so it’s definitely something I’ve been wanting to do. In this episode, we talk about what pilgrimage is and why you might want to do one. You certainly don’t have to be religious—you can use a pilgrimage to explore your own inner journey or simply to visit ancient sites or sacred places. I hope this episode inspires you to start thinking about pilgrimage!    About J.F. Penn J.F. Penn is the Award-nominated, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of thrillers, dark fantasy, and crime. She also writes non-fiction for writers as Joanna Penn, and is an award-winning podcaster, international speaker, and creative entrepreneur.   Jo's Links Author websitePublishing + podcast websiteTravel websiteKickstarter   Listen To This Episode        What You'll Learn What is a pilgrimage and how it differs from other types of long-distance routesWhy you don’t have to be religious to do a pilgrimageThe three stages of a pilgrimageJo’s top tips for someone who is considering a pilgrimage   Things We Discussed The Pilgrims’ Way to Canterbury St Cuthbert’s Way to Lindisfarne Camino Portugués Macs Adventure Shikoku pilgrimage in Japan Milford Track in New Zealand Via Francigena Cicerone guidebooks The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seeker's Guide to Making Travel Sacred (The Spiritual Traveler’s Travel Guide), by Phil Cousineau    Related Episodes 437 Shawn Anderson ~ Adventures on the Camino Primitivo in Spain407 Keith Foskett ~ Through Hiking Long-Distance Trails in the USA and Spain (now with downloadable transcript!)403 Susan Jagannath ~ Adventures on the Camino Inglés (now with downloadable transcript!)359 Adam Wells ~ How To Prepare For Your First Long Distance Trail (now with downloadable transcript!)354 Stephen Marriott ~ The Life-changing Magic of Walking a Long-Distance Trail (now with downloadable transcript!)   Connect With Holly WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestGoogle+LinkedIn   How to Subscribe Click here to subscribe via iTunesClick here to subscribe via RSSClick here to subscribe via Stitcher   Help Spread the Word If you enjoyed this episode, please head on over to iTunes and kindly leave us a rating and a review!
