Hike the Dolomites in the Italian Alps

Kit was so inspired by her interview of Annie in Episode 21 about her adventures hiking in the Dolomites, that she booked the same tour and tells you all about it on today's show.

Not only do we hike the majestic UNESCO Dolomites, but we also bike a beautiful rail to trails path, and we EAT! This is Italy, after all.

Kit takes you step by step on her adventure so you'll learn what you'll see and do, learn about the accommodations, including the mountain hut (refugios) and learn a bit about the culture.

Travel Tips and Insights

On this far reaching show, Kit highlights the lessons learned over more than a year and a half on the road, including her USA Road Trip in her camper van, Sophie, plus her long term travel in Europe.

We discuss:

• Myth Busted: Travel is Expensive : I can't afford it
• Myth Busted: Travel is Dangerous

We learn tips on how to save money on the biggest travel expenses: lodging, transportation, attractions and food. We also learn how Kit finds her way around without cell service (or a paper map), her favorite travel apps, how she chooses where to head next, and what she packed that can get her anywhere in the world, including hiking, biking and paddling!
