The cast has decided to put this podcast on hiatus for the time being. We thank you for everything, and we hope you found the episodes enlightening and educational. We may, at some point, decide to revive this podcast, but for now, we strike out on our own adventures in life as we travel to new and wonderous places.
Always keep your heads up, your wits about you, and remember: You are never alone on the traveling road.
See you on the trails.
Gina, Carol, and Amy.
Wrapping up season one, we talk about what's coming up for season 2, some ideas we've got, and some of our favourite memories from the season. There are lots of new things on the horizon, and we can't wait to share everything with you. Thank you to every one for a hell of a first season. ~~~~~ SOCIALS ~~~~~ ►

Dani, Carol and Gina talk about their interview with Karin. This episode has been a long time coming, and I'm sorry that it's 2 weeks late. We are trying our best. This episode came with it's own challenges, from extreme heat in our area, to technology refusing to work.
Either way, we hope you enjoy it. As penance, I may consider uploading the raw audio tracks for you guys to listen to....

RE EDIT AND UPLOAD
My apologies for the repeating segments of this episode. This issue has now been resolved. Please enjoy!
Amy and Tom are an international couple. Amy is from Canada, Tom is from the UK, and today they talk to us about some of the intricacies of being in a relationship cross border. This was actually the very first episode that we recorded all those months ago, so we're a little uncomfortable in front of the microphone. Amy and Tom have been ever so patient in waiting for this episode to come out, so a huge thank you goes out to them, and our humblest apologies for taking so long to put this out.
