Ladies only night: SOLO, What the Mountains Taught Us About Life.

Join Further Faster for a ladies-only night celebrating Jenny Toughs' (yes, that's her real name) new book "SOLO" and the new season of the podcast "She Adventures" by Senka Radonich.

Jenny completed a ground-breaking adventure of seven expeditions running solo across a mountain range on seven continents. Her book "SOLO" documents this adventure along side her film series. She will be joining us live from Scotland and will be able to answer all your pressing questions! So come prepared!

At 40, Senka sold 2/3rd of her stuff, put her business on hold, and set off living in her van to see as much of NZ as she could in 5 months. Along the way, she saw some amazing places throughout New Zealand and met incredible women adventuring, which inspired her podcast, She Adventures.

The night will be filled with candid chats about what it takes to adventure solo, tips, mindset, stories and film. Embracing fear, letting go and learning how to say yes and no when needed. And what these solo adventures taught us about life.

Julz from Further Faster will join them, who has hiked and travelled solo since 18 and loves to encourage others to try it themselves. "The more I travel and adventure solo, the more friends I have made."
