Having the opportunity to speak with Linda Åkerberg on this episode was something I'd looked forward to from the first time we spoke and now I'm really excited to be able to release this episode so that everyone can learn something from her. With the title of Female Adventurer of the Year 2019, Linda also speaks to us about her other passions as an author, outdoor photographer, mountain climber and Kayak Instructor. Linda has so much trail knowledge and she happily shares that with us in this episode.
