Episode Description from the Publisher

Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady interviews Ashley from Hi From Ashley about her six-year solo journey, including overlanding the Americas in a Toyota Tacoma. Motivated by personal loss and injury, Ashley transitioned from corporate healthcare to a life of slow travel. She reflects on the challenges of traveling with her dog, Porter, through international borders and his eventual passing in Colombia. Highlights include celebrating Día de los Muertos in Mexico, exploring remote Guatemala, and reaching Ushuaia on Christmas Day 2025. Ashley offers advice on prioritizing personal goals over societal expectations and discusses potential future adventures in Europe and Africa. Her story serves as a testament to the "if not now, when" philosophy of exploration.Website | Instagram | YouTube The Overland Journal Podcast is brought to you this week by Nitto Tire and  Overland Journal Magazine New to Overland Journal and want to grab a subscription!
