Howdy! I know I’ve been busy as a bee but I think I forgot to tell y’all I have a radio show! It’s called Solo Travel Girl’s Adventures Near & Far and broadcasts weekly on Thursdays at noon on WKDW 97.5 FM community radio in North Port, Fla. 

The radio show can be listened to online but if you miss it, you can catch it here on my blog. I realize I’m starting with Episode 3 vs. 1, but I wanted to share amazing journey of Janet Cassidy who walked across America this spring and summer

Janet has the blog Roam for Improvement in which I recommend you head over there and read more about her and her journey. And the photo on this blog post? That’s Janet with Capt. LeRoy Bennett with Tap Out Charters in Englewood, Fla.

Have an idea or topic you would like me to discuss on the air? Interested in supporting my show? Drop me a line!

She founded the travel blog, SoloTravelGirl.com with the goal of inspiring others to travel alone, not lonely. The unexpected death of her former husband in 2008 reminded her how short life is.
