Episode #409 - Alyssa Whoaa (Rainbow Brite)

The uniquely named Alyssa Whoaa is our main guest today. She came to me as a member of the TSX team and she is widely experienced in a variety of different adventures that have taken in many countries and even led her to the South Pole, with the North Pole her next great adventure.

Alyssa has shared several links that may be of interest to listeners having heard her on the podcast. As she says, they are links to “interesting things.”

Joanne has had a couple of months to reflect upon her own epic hiking year, and we catch up with her today on the show. The memories are all about “the people.”

I often ask listeners for ideas on who to interview, and I’m sure several of you say, “I could do that. I’ve got an awesome story to tell.” You’re the person we need to hear from.
