Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

This episode is part 2 of my conversation with friend and world traveler, Chloe Carnegey. In this half of our conversation, Chloe and I tell the story of our New Zealand hitchhiking adventure from the mountains of the south island to Queenstown, both sharing journal entries we wrote chronicling those days in real-time. We talk about spending New Year's Eve of 2018 on a magical remote property south of Queenstown, and then about Chloe's travels after New Zealand to Costa Rica and Peru! I ask Chloe about her thoughts on gap years broadly and what that year changed in her, and share some of my thoughts as well.

Chloe and I then talk about what she has been up to in the 7 years since we took our gap years, including her path to her undergraduate degree, and more international travel. We finish the conversation talking about where Chloe is at now, looking to pursue work as a birth doula and diving more deeply into her passion for music and songwriting!

I loved this half of our conversation; Chloe has so much wisdom to share about what makes for a meaningful life and the value of following an authentic path, even if it is unconventional. It was so good to reconnect for this conversation, and if you enjoyed part 1 with Chloe I have no doubt you will love the second half as well!
