This episode first aired in 2012.
On this episode, we revisit one of our all-time favorite conversations. We talked in 2010 with National Geographic explorer and bestselling author Helen Thayer.
Thayer has lived a life of adventure. She once walked 4,000 miles across the Sahara from Morocco to the Nile River, kayaked 2,200 miles of the Amazon River, and became the first woman to travel alone to any of the world's poles when she skied to the Magnetic North Pole without dog sled, snowmobile, resupply, or support.
We spoke with Helen Thayer about her accomplishments and starting Adventure Classroom, a resource program for children.
