Solo travel is a transformative experience no matter how big or small the adventure may be, and sometimes it is exactly what you need to check in with reality, yourself, and the wider world around you. This week’s 10Adventures podcast welcomes outdoor enthusiast and writer Brenda Missen, author of Tumblehome: One Woman’s Canoeing Adventures in the Divine Near Wilderness. 

Styled as “part spiritual memoir, part travel adventure, and great part ode to the Earth”, Tumblehome is a contemplative chronicle of Brenda’s time spent solo canoeing through the 7,600km² expanse of Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park. Listen in as we discuss the wide range of experiences spread across her decades of paddling in the wild, and how it has helped transform her life.
