Episode Description from the Publisher

Why do we travel? To experience awe. Y We Travel hosts Eric Weiner and Erica Vella discuss the moments on the road that leave us speechless. Eric interviews essayist Elizabeth Renzetti, an author and columnist who was bitten early by the travel bug. They discuss the themes from her Walrus essay, including the majesty of natural and human experiences that make us transcend our daily existence and make us feel small: Iguazu Falls, a dangerous Pacific current, a communal experience in a Philippine village. Erica expands on that concept, chatting with adventurer Melanie Vogel, the first woman to walk the Trans-Canada Trail. They discuss the self-discovery, the obstacles, the human kindness and the awe-inspiring geography she encountered along the way. Read the essays: https://ywetravelmag.ca Contact us: hello@ywetravelmag.ca
