In this episode of The Bold Route Podcast, I’m joined by one of my favorite people—my former teaching partner and lifelong adventurer, Heather Brumley.

In this first half of our conversation, we talk about:

• What it means to live boldly in different seasons of life
• Where Heather’s passion for travel came from
• The difference between traveling and vacationing
• Her top three favorite places so far
• A few hilarious stories from her travels
• And a whole lot of laughter, encouragement, and permission to live boldly

Heather is a natural storyteller with a heart for adventure and a ton of wisdom to share—and we laughed a lot in this one.

🎧 This is Part 1 of 2—make sure to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss Part 2, where we dive into her unforgettable 7,000+ mile road trip.

😄 Other things Mentioned in This Episode (Part One):

• A grammar teacher’s take on how to pronounce “Route”… but I'm still saying it my way 😂
• Heather trying to convince me to take a cruise, but I'm not sold:
