Hello, and welcome to number 141. this week, I am joined by super traveller and author Karen Gershowitz. Karen has travelled to around 100 countries spanning seven decades, starting with living in London during the Swinging Sixties. So, of course, I asked her about London in the late 60s and early 70s, and then I asked about her adventures in Japan, Venezuela, the Galapagos Islands, Tibet, and Myanmar. Karen has released two books, Travel Mania and Wanderlust, filled with amazing stories from Karen's travels over the years. Karen also writes for several publications specializing in people over 50 travelling—a wonderful and inspirational story.

Please check out Karen's books and website below.

Enjoy. Be inspired!
