Episode Description from the Publisher

What's the biggest risk you'd take to see the world? Ria Xi will be the first person to run the length of the Silk Road across Asia and Europe, and she'll run it alone. Ria believes travel should happen at the pace of a single footstep - slow enough to savor everything between point A and B. Julie catches Ria from her nomadic training route, but stick around to the end of the episode to hear an update from Ria along her record-breaking run! To support Ria's run, check out her GoFundMe and follow along on Instagram @whereisriax for occasional chances to join her crew. Check out Ria's podcast, Planetary Run Club, where she interviewed Julie for her debut episode!
