Have you ever had the impulse to drop everything and start off on a risky, ambitious adventure? Today I’m introducing you to a woman who felt this calling at a young age - and keeps saying “yes” to it.
Vedangi Kulkarni is a 22-year-old adventure-traveller who in 2018 became the youngest woman to circumnavigate the world on a bicycle, a journey she completed mostly solo and unsupported. If that wasn’t courageous enough, she recently started her own business called The Adventure Shed, through which she aims to make adventure more accessible by helping others plan some pretty insane adventure expeditions.
Having spent her childhood in India but crafting an adult life in the UK, Vedangi’s definition of “home” is a little more complex than most. This episode is a thrill ride through her craziest adventures - everything from moments of the heart-warming kindness from total strangers to the trauma of being mugged at knifepoint while biking through Spain - as well as a thoughtful, layered discussion on mental strength, passport privilege, and the difficulty of being a woman of color in adventuring.
Get ready for a deep dive into the life of a woman who embraces discomfort on a daily basis, and get a taste of the mindset that’s enabled her to overcome the craziest challenges and keep moving forward. I hope you enjoy.
