Listen "Many Happy Miles: Why Take a Traincation?"
Episode Synopsis
Why take a traincation? If you ask our guests in today's episode, they'd say, "why not?" Hosts Dimity and Sarah WF chat with two women, Natalie Nixon and Anna van der Wouden, who each recently ventured off for a week of exercise, adventure, self-discovery, and fun. In this lively conversation, you'll hear:
Why Natalie opted for a swimming vacation in a far-flung destination;
More behind Anna's decision to join a triathlon camp and the benefits it brought her;
The challenges and doubts each faced during their trips and how they overcame them;
Why they encourage others to go on a traincation, too.
At the start, Sarah and Dimity catch up on their summer activities, and Dimity shares more about her recent family trip (and all the swimming she got in while there)!
