In this episode of Roam + Golightly: A Podcast For Creative Adventurers, Margo and I discuss the ins and outs of travel blogging and her recent return to the good ol' US of A. This episode is stocked with great conversation of the meaning of adventure, a little bit of fan-girling, (Margo was my travel blogger ICON when I started the old travel blog) and A LOT of great moments while we discuss the importance of adventure in our every day lives.
