Christine Reed's journey into the outdoors began in her 20s, sparked by a fascination with the Appalachian Trail. Despite a non-outdoorsy upbringing, she found purpose and inspiration through reading about the AT, leading her to plan and hike sections of the trail. Her path eventually led her to Yosemite, where she discovered rock climbing, although it wasn't until her move to Denver that she fully embraced the sport. ⁣ Feeling disconnected from conventional day-to-day life, Christine bought a van and embarked on a nomadic journey without a clear plan. As she navigated the road, she sought independence and faced questions about her motivations. Initially struggling to find community and purpose, she hiked the Wonderland Trail, which prompted her to reflect on solitude and independence. This introspection led her to write "Alone in Wonderland," a book that became a cornerstone of her journey. ⁣ Through her writing, Christine explores the interaction between independence and loneliness, shedding light on the complexities of living a nomadic lifestyle. Her experiences highlight the challenges and unexpected lessons of life on the road, offering insights into adaptation, learning, and finding comfort in the unconventional. Driven by a professional mission to impact the world through storytelling, Christine aims to transition into publishing other people's books, aspiring to publish 10 books a year by 2030. Her writing process involves intense focus interspersed with outdoor activities, often in coffee shops or her van. Looking ahead, she envisions owning a small A-frame cabin while maintaining her nomadic lifestyle.

Bio- Christine discovered long distance backpacking while surfing the internet at work. She decided that day to attempt to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Her Rugged Outdoors Woman persona started as a joke, a nod to the outdoor adventurer that she wished to be. One adventure led to another and since then she has hiked the Wonderland Trail, the Colorado Trail and thousands more miles along the way. ​Her debut memoir, Alone in Wonderland, is about backpacking, but it is really about the independence that we seek when we go into nature solo.

Christine Reed is an analyst on the Fixed Income team at Ninety One covering Latin American sovereign and currency markets. Based in New York, Christine is responsible for all Latin America coverage and supports the alpha decision-making process across investment capabilities. She previously worked at Goldman Sachs Asset and Citigroup. Our conversation starts with Christine's first foray into finance and how she found herself fitting on a trading floor. We then trace her path into emerging markets and some initial early lessons on having to take risk, and "own" that risk. We then do a deep dive into emerging markets and work around the region analyzing central bank policy, the strength of institutions, the reaction to inflation and the road ahead. We spend a dedicated section discussing ESG integration and some of the leapfrogging that is occurring in developing countries. We look at past systemic crises in certain EM regions and ask why this has been avoided in the most recent crisis post-Covid. When it comes to portfolio construction in an Emerging Market Debt portfolio we look at the interplay of quantitative and qualitative inputs and how divergent some of the components of an index can be. Finally in this section we examine recent geopolitical risk and concerns and investors' reaction to them. Christine's perspective on diversity in the industry is informed by her time spent in emerging markets where different support systems and social structures exist supporting working parents. We look at the importance of these support systems in enabling leaders to thrive and ask how far away we are from this equilibrium in our current industry state. This podcast is brought to you with the kind support of Tom Raber and Alvine Capital, a specialist investment advisor and fund placement boutique with offices in London and Stockholm. An early adopter of the "reverse enquiry" form of placement, Alvine relies on insight and dialogue with its pan-European investor base to develop and source investment solutions from a wide variety of industry providers.

We discuss how trails can help us to figure things out, and how to get started on your own solo backpacking adventures.   About Christine Christine Reed is a long-distance backpacker and author of the memoir, Alone in Wonderland. She shares her personal journey from sedentary office worker to rugged outdoorswoman in hopes of inspiring others to see something bigger for themselves-- whatever that may be. But also to remind us that a good story is about sharing something of ourselves and connecting with others.

Christine Reed is an author and freelancer who has traveled extensively around the states in three different vans as part of the vanlife movement, and she's looking forward to partnering soon with a company that builds out vans for people who intend to travel and live in them as opposed to RVs or other styles of tiny homes. She loves the rugged outdoors and long-distance backpacking and wrote her first book, a memoir titled Alone in Wonderland. In her book and in talks at events such as TinyFest, REI and other outdoorsy supply stores, Christine shares her personal journey from sedentary office worker/retail worker to a lifestyle of freedom and adventure. Christine likes to inspire people to see something bigger for themselves but is also quick to share about her own struggles with loneliness at times on the road or trail and how she's come to find ways of embracing some of that discomfort and connecting with her own self as well as with others.In this episode, Christine talks about what it's been like to be a self-published author on tour during a global pandemic and how that's affected the timeline of her book tour while also running a freelance business as a writer and social media manager. She does work from her home base in the Denver and sometimes Phoenix area, sometimes a few weeks or a month at a time. When she went from hiking extensively on the Appalachian and Wonderland Trail to staying somewhere different nearly every night while on tour, it was socially and physically exhausting for her as someone who tends toward the introverted side. She's learned to balance the amount of time she travels with the amount of time she can spend outdoors and working and resting. Her days are often spent at libraries and coffee shops for wifi, and she generally has signal and access to wifi as she generally stays close to metropolitan areas when she's working. Christine loves the freedom that her vanlife lifestyle has allowed, but she recommends that people who are considering it for the first time go ahead and rent a van first to see if it's something that they really want to invest in, most people know within the first 6 months if it's sustainable for them.Some of the tools and tips that Christine recommends for working remotely, and specifically while on the road to some extent, include keeping a structured calendar to avoid work creeping into free time and scheduling Zoom sessions with work-from-home and other vanlife friends for accountability and socialization. Her book was really a sort of a catalyst for her to get where she is now. It was the first move into a more alternative lifestyle, and she wouldn't be working remotely without it; but the book, at the same time, also helps give her the freedom to keep hiking every year. She intends to write her second book soon, so stay tuned!Christine can be found in the following places:Instagram or Tiktok: @ruggedoutdoorswomane-mail: ruggedoutdoorswoman@gmail.comwebsite: https://www.aloneinwonderland.com/

We have the privilege of speaking with the one and only, Lady Unicorn! Lady Unicorn or Christine Reed is an acclaimed author who has written the extremely popular "Alone in Wonderland" book. We chat about how she began her transition into a life in and for the outdoors. We talk about the fear of being alone, discovering depths of yourself when alone, and all the "baggage" inside the concept of being alone. We chat about the process it takes to write a book, and all the intricacies and feelings that go into it beforehand and after. Not being defined singularly as a hiker, or backpacker, she chooses to experience growth in herself having the outdoors but be an impetus for the self-knowledge within. Having created an all women writing community together, we learn about how she views and creates her community within the outdoors. A wonderful chat with a very deep and insightful author, climber, hiker, outdoor enthusiast, person.

Trey Harrington reads Christine Reed's tale which begins with a strange shortness of breath during a 50k ultra training run. It led to a gradual self-realization of an imperfect life being exactly the kind of life she wanted.

In this episode we interview backpacker, rock climber, trail runner and author - Christine Reed. After stumbling upon backpacking while surfing the web she knew she wanted to be a part of a bigger community. Her first step was to attempt to thru hike the Appalachian Trail. From there one adventure led to another and Christine couldn't get enough of the outdoors. Years later she set off to hike the Wonderland Trail in Mt Rainier National Park. Her experience was so impactful that she wrote a book, Alone In Wonderland, to share her story on the trail, as well as the life challenges she's faced and overcome.

In this episode, we talk with Christine Reed otherwise known on the trail as Lady Unicorn. Her book Alone in Wonderland was released earlier this year. This is a memoir that shares her journey on the Wonderland Trail. We dive into a very raw conversation about her thru-hike cut short due to her mother's death and how that experience leads up to shaping her path. We also talk about the balance of being independent as a woman, getting outdoors as a woman, and the stigma around women going outdoors alone. This episode is for anyone who may be having some "wanderlust" to get on the trail and hike your own hike.

Christine Reed followed society's formula into adulthood, but even after landing a job she should be thrilled with, she found herself feeling lost. She wasn't about anything. Until one day, a random internet search led to the idea of hiking. Maybe that could be her thing? Christine's poignant new memoir, Alone in Wonderland, asks what happens when we set out to discover ourselves in the woods? What if we're scared? What if our quest takes us off the current path? Will our lives fall apart if we quit our jobs to follow a dream? And, is backpacking reserved for the fit and fearless? (Hint: it is not!) Christine and I chat about independence, identity, our relationships with family and thriving on our own terms.

Christine’s love for backpacking started the same way many of the adventures on this podcast start, with a Google search. Her quest that day? To find out what this backpacking thing was all about. After only a few articles into her search, Christine decided to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. It was a huge leap of faith but she immediately got to work to make that dream come true. The funny thing about making a dream a reality is that it’s not what we typically imagine. The realness of life usually gets in the way and what actually happens before, during, and after an adventure is anything but what we plan for. Today we’re going to hear Christine’s story of how her experience hiking the AT changed her and all the adventures that have come before and after it. She has written her experiences in a new book after a life-altering trip on the Wonderland trail called Alone in Wonderland, which can be found at her website, aloneinwonderland.com ( https://www.aloneinwonderland.com/ ) Follow Christine on social: @ruggedoutdoorswoman ( https://www.instagram.com/ruggedoutdoorswoman/?hl=en ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

BOOK BLURB:Alone in Wonderland is a story about Christine's 11-day thru-hike of the Wonderland Trail in Mt Rainier National Park. But it's so much more than that. It's an exploration of the reasons why we find ourselves walking alone in the wilderness, literally and metaphorically. As a woman in her 20s, Christine set out to redefine who she was and make meaning of the world around her. Solo backpacking and travel became the answer to many of life's questions. Throughout Alone in Wonderland, she searches for the line between what she calls herself and who she really is. In society, we often define ourselves by the things we do and the people we associate with, and in this story, Christine delves into the backpacking community and how she identifies as a rugged outdoors woman.To many of us, our relationship with the outdoors is much greater than an appreciation of the beauty of nature or the desire to challenge ourselves physically. It's about healing, claiming and connecting with something bigger than ourselves.Christine hikes to find her inner self, but she wrote this story for you. She wanted to let others who are searching for meaning and connection to know that they aren't alone.@ruggedoutdoorswomanOutdoor Adventure Memoir | Alone in WonderlandPlease Check Out: Papa Bear Hikes
