WOMEN & THE WILDERNESS: DISCOVERING THE WILD WITHIN WITH TRAVEL BLOGGER, HANNAH RHEAUME
With over fifty-two thousand followers on Instagram, Brekenridge, Colorado native Hannah Rheaume is going places. Literally.
Having never traveled outside of the U.S. prior to 2016, starting a travel blog felt like a leap into the unknown. However, with trips toThailand and Hong Kong, Hannah quickly realized that she wanted to share her newfound passion for travel to connect with likeminded people the world over. Six months later, Rheaume quit her public relations job and booked a one-way ticket to Australia to begin her new career and new life.
Now, her blog, Women & the Wilderness showcases everything travel-related, including destination guides, road trip highlights, travel tips, and resources for living and traveling more sustainably. Rheaume’s podcast also highlights women in the wilderness and focuses on self-growth, self-doubt, overcoming fears and obstacles, love and loss, and journeys up mountains, through forests, and across oceans. For Hannah, Women & the Wilderness is a reminder that being a woman in the wilderness has everything to do with discovering the wild within.
In a revealing and relatable exchange, Face the Current and Rheaume discuss the power of fear, thwe practicality of accessible sustainability, the call for ethical travel, and finding the path to happiness in the here and now.
