Shishmaref, Alaska. The beginning of a journey into the backcountry. Across the sea ice into the early morning sun with our snowmobile roaring in our ears.

But guess what? I shared my last flight with the Harlem Globe Trotters. How sweet is that? I couldn’t…
Today is all airports, all the time. Sense of humour will be key. In Toronto, at security, one of the employees yelling, “Love the day you are in! Smile everybody! Don’t look at the lineup!” She was rad. It’s a good day to be Alaska bound. Let’s try not to take ourselves too seriously. Deal?…

My love goes out to all of the women who have been my guides on this unpredictable path. This web of stories, woven by intuition, grows with each new thread. There are dozens more women and girls I could feature here, but I’m settling for one from each country we have visited so far with…
