Denise Talks With Her Australian Friend About Lifelong Curiosity, How it Led Her to Become a Full-Time Global Hiker, and Why She Encourages Older Adults to Put On Their Boots and Go For a Hike - with host Denise Schwartz

Backyard OASIS by Greenfield Community College

Episode notes

Forty years ago, Denise and Karen became friends while working as staff at the School for International Training and the Experiment in international Living in Vermont. Over the years they lost touch...until this summer, when Karen, now a full-time global hiker, texted, "Mind if I drop by?" Here's a short story about youth and work and hiking and curiosity, but mostly about how life goes on and friendships stay strong.
