Dawn talks about her love for solo remote travel and her experiences swimming alone at night. She describes how she finds solace and a sense of awe and wonder in deserted beaches and tiny coves.

Dawn shares her ritual of swimming past the buoy. She believes that swimming at sunset propels her through faith in the things she cannot see.......... but knows are there.

She encourages listeners to practice faith in themselves and swim past their limitations.

Takeaways

Solo remote travel can provide a sense of awe and wonder

Swimming at night can be a spiritual experience

Swimming past buoys is a metaphor for pushing past one's limitations and having faith in oneself.

Practicing faith in oneself and in things greater than oneself can lead to personal growth and strength.

Sound Bites

"The beach feels like a church to me. It's where I can feel the divine."

"You have to believe that the water will hold you. I think that when people don't know how to swim or they panic in water, it's because they don't have enough faith in the water."

Dawn reflects on her experiences of solo remote travel, particularly in Iceland (where she pushed the edge too hard). She discusses the thrill and danger of testing her limits in remote locations, the spiritual work she does during these trips, and her motivations for embarking on them.

Dawn shares her very real, raw feelings of self-hate and frustration with her career at one point, which led her to seek perhaps too much adventure, maybe even a punishment through extreme travel in Iceland.

She describes the challenges and risks she faced while driving in over this volcanic island, including treacherous weather conditions and encounters with hitchhikers.
