What happens when we go offline for a camping and hiking trip in the Olympic Peninsula with a plein air painter and a food blogger? We get really inspired. In a lot of ways, this is a simple episode about making friends offline. But it’s also about the headspace you cultivate when you step outside and how that makes room for thought and inspiration. And it’s also about experiencing an outdoor space through creative work and wanting to dig deeper than surface level when recreating. Last August, Columbia Sportswear brought Megan McDuffie and Heidi Annalise and (host) Gale Straub together for a backpacking trip. They learn about the surprising things they have in common, as well as the landscape around them. And to learn more, Gale calls up local Lorraine Greene, a member of the Makah tribe. Women Featured in this Episode: Heidi Annalise, Megan McDuffie, and Lorraine Greene. Hosted and produced by Gale Straub. In this episode, you'll hear: The benefits of taking online friends offline in the outdoors How food blogger Megan McDuffie and painter Heidi Annalise got started How the outdoors inspires creativity in us Insight as to what it's like to grow up on the Olympic Peninsula as a member of the Makah Tribe The sounds of the Olympic Peninsula of Washington Enjoy this episode?
