In Episodes Eight and Nine, we speak with Christine Thurmer about long distance trails in Europe.  Christine has written three bestselling books about hiking (in German).  She has hiked 53,000 km/33,000 miles.  As far as we know, that is more than any other woman alive, today, and quite possibly more than any woman in history.  She has also bicycled 30,000 km and paddled 6,500 km.  We discuss what makesEuropean trailsdifferent, what makes them special, how to handle the planning and logistics and language barriers and to go and hike them.
