Hello, everyone. We are working on a project in Panama City, Panama this and next week. We will resume our podcasts with guests two Sundays from now. But today, we would love to play for you a fascinating conversation with Audrey Stimson from last year, and read her story about an Alaskan adventure.
For almost 30 years, Audrey has been a television news producer for American and European news outlets. She has interviewed kings and queens, Hollywood royalty, rock and roll stars, sports stars, politicians, and everyday people.
She lives with her husband and their two dogs in Culver City, California.
Audrey is the author of the upcoming book “Across the American Dream: Bicycling Across the U.S. and Back to Myself” (working title).
We interview Audrey about her adventures, unique perspective on life, and the philosophy of travel.
Then we narrate her wonderful essay: When Does a Trip End?

And they came up to our Jeep and just stopped within about three feet of me. Eating their cutting and sat there, stood there for about 15 minutes. I could smell them. They stank of sweat and dirt, but it was the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced, one of them. …”
