How to Adventure Responsibly (blog post)

Marta, originally from Poland, now lives in London, England. She credits this move for opening her eyes to new experiences and adventures. After the move, her love for travel, and the outdoors, grew immensely. But the more she traveled, the bigger her accomplishments on her agenda grew.

She is challenging herself to climb the 7 tallest summits on each continent, known as the 7 Summits, and The Crown of Europe, the tallest peak in each European country. As of 2020, she has climbed 23 of the 50 tallest peaks in Europe and 5 of the 7 summits. With Everest coming up in April 2021.

In this episode, we talk about her journey to the 7 summits, how she is preparing for Everest, how she is able to afford these long, expensive climbs, mental toughness and what it means to her to be able to work towards the goal of being the first person to climb both the 7 Summits and the Crown of Europe.

In this episode of Women & the Wilderness I am joined by Allison Lang; content creator, solo female traveler, and advocate for body inclusivity. Oh, and did I mention she's a left below-the-knee amputee?

Born and raised in Alberta, she grew up hiking, snowboarding, and swimming in Banff and Jasper National Park. This ignited her passion for travel, she's backpacked 29 countries thus far!

In this conversation, we discuss how she overcame severe bullying, body image insecurities, and a handful of surgeries which, in the end, led her to find her sense of independence and confidence.

Allison has personally eliminated the word "disabled" from her vocabulary and prefers to use "physical difference" instead because she believes that each obstacle is an opportunity.

She encourages others to ask questions and hopes to open up the conversation about amputation to normalize bodies that are physically different.
