Walking 10,000 Miles: Jenn Baljko’s Journey from Bangkok to Barcelona

What would it take to walk 10,000 miles across two continents?In this episode, I sit down with author and adventurer Jenn Baljko, who spent three and a half years walking from Bangkok to Barcelona with her partner. Yes… on foot. We talk about what inspired this wild idea, how they planned (and improvised) along the way, and what it really feels like to live out of a backpack for years. But what stayed with me most? The kindness of strangers. Jenn shares powerful stories from the road that challenge so many of the fears we carry, especially as Americans.We also get into solo travel, midlife reinvention, and how to build the confidence to just go, even when you’re not 100% ready.If you’ve been craving a big adventure, or even just a new perspective, this one will stick with you.See photos and read highlights from our interview here.👉 For more travel stories, tips, and inspiration, subscribe to my Substack at The Gomes Guide.You can learn more about Jenn Baljko by visiting her website: alwaysonmyway.com. Support the show
