Tough Girl Daily PODCAST! Sunday 8th October - "Why I'm ok with being a hypocritical sexist" - written by Bex Band - The Ordinary Adventurer.

About Bex Band

Fed up with my 9-5 routine, I quit my job as a teacher to be what most people only dream of...an adventurer! It paid off. I now live a nomadic existence travelling from one adventure to the next - going on and leading expeditions, carrying out conservation work and searching for cool new things to do along the way. This is now my job!

I want to inspire more people to go on adventures to learn the value of experiences over things and to reconnect with our natural world. I'm proof that wealth, fitness and experience aren't what you need to achieve this....determination and kindness did me just fine!
