In Episode 22 of the Distance Hiker Podcast I have the pleasure of speaking with Matthew King.

Matthew is a seasoned backpacker, and artist, who shares his art and backpacking trips on Backpacking Artist.

We chat about Matthews's story, from working in Financial Services to taking the leap and working for himself, freeing himself up to simply walk more!

Matthew has also completed several TGO challenges, opening up the conversation to chat about this interesting challenge and why he keeps on going back to it. In addition, we talk about his homemade tent, and of course, Matthews's love of making art inspired by the landscapes he walks through.
