What happens when two empty nesters decide to trek Fourteen Hundred miles on Europe’s GR5? Alicia sits down with Kathy Elkind, author of the new book, “To Walk it is to See it”, to find out! They discuss the profound insights and epiphanies Kathy had while walking 1400 miles with her husband Jim, through Europe. They also touch on the power of synchronicity and how mindfulness, self compassion and contentment were among the items she “packed” for this journey, and more. This was a wonderfully inspiring and spirited conversation that will have you seriously thinking about taking an adult gap year for adventure, yourself!
