Our guest Katherine Parker Magyar first came to our attention for a wonderful article she wrote for Forbes entitled "Why Your Post-Quarantine Vacation Should Be An Alaskan Fishing Trip." It got us to thinking, at at time of social distancing why not take this trip now. Nature and social distancing go hand-in-hand. Not only does Katherine share her Alaskan fishing experience, hear about her sky walking in New Zealand, her absolute love affair with Kenya and a trip down the Rio Negro River in the Amazon. Katherine took her first trip at 14 months old to the Arctic circle and she's been traveling ever since---all 50 states, 63 states and counting.
