Janet Cassidy and Capt. LeRoy Bennett of Tap Out Charters, Sept. 2016
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 Improvementin 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!
Listen to My Interview with Janet Cassidy Who Walked Across America
Jennifer A. Huber is an award-winning travel and outdoor blogger and writer in Southwest Florida. Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., a hiking trail led her to a career path in the tourism industry for more than 30 years. She spent a decade with a park management company in Yellowstone, Death Valley, and Everglades National Parks. 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. His passing was a catalyst for sharing her experiences with the goal of inspiring and empowering others to travel solo.
Jennifer holds a Travel Marketing Professional certification from the Southeast Tourism Society, is a certified food judge, member of the NASA Social community, and alum of the FBI Citizens Academy. When not traveling, she is either in the kitchen, practicing her photography skills, or road tripping with her dog, Radcliff.
At Peace River Seafood & Botanicals in Punta Gorda, Blue Crab University turns a Monday night into a hands-on lesson in Southwest Florida crabbing culture. From crab biology and local history to blue crab cornbread and all-you-can-eat steamed crabs, the inaugural class delivers a uniquely Old Florida experience. I left with my Masters in Crabology.
Reconnecting with nature grounds me in a world ruled by screens. A wet walk through Six Mile Cypress Slough becomes a spiritual, reflective escape—made even richer by a travel challenge card that nudges me to slow down, listen, and experience the moment with intention. Sometimes one prompt changes everything.
Stepping into a cranberry bog on Wisconsin’s Cranberry Highway, I discovered a whimsical fall adventure filled with bright red berries, cozy treats, and unforgettable solo travel magic.
