EPISODE 2: CYCLING THE WORLD

09/18/21 • 34 min

Ruth Millington's Extreme Holidays Podcast

In 2017 artist Hannah Scott got on her bicycle and went off to cycle the world. She discusses life on the road, the challenges she’s faced, meeting her fiancé, escaping Nepal as the Covid19 pandemic hit, and the family ties behind her famous surname.

This week I’m thrilled to be joined by Hannah for the second episode of my Extreme Holidays Podcast.

Hannah is an award-winning interdisciplinary British artist. Her work reflects on humanity’s relationship with the natural world and endeavours to raise awareness of ecological issues. She’s also undertaken some of the world’s most inspiring journeys including the Trans Mongolian Express through Russia and China, trekked extensively in the Himalaya, and over 3 months completed the Mongol Rally from London to Mongolia in a second hand ambulance. www.hannahscott.com

EPISODE 3: GASSED AND ROBBED IN CUBA

Justin Barker, an American citizen, was just a teenager when he and his family were gassed and robbed in Cuba. Justin discusses the effect it had on him and reveals his suspicions of who may have committed this terrifying crime. He also speaks about his new memoir, Bear Boy, his stance against animals in captivity, his views on game reserves and the tourism industry, and how travelling as a child broadened his perspective.

This week I’m thrilled to be joined by Justin for the third episode of my Extreme Holidays Podcast.

Justin is an animal activist, producer and author of Bear Boy: The True Story of a Boy, Two Bears, and the Fight to Be Free. Described as the Greta Thunberg of the 1990s, he was 13-years-old when he launched Citizens Lobbying for Animals in Zoos and was named "One of Twenty Teens Who Will Change the World" in Teen People Magazine and featured in National Geographic, Animal Planet, NBC and CBS. He lives in San Francisco with his family. As a producer/director, he has circled the globe. He’s also been on many personal adventures including Costa Rica, Nepal, Thailand and Australia. https://linktr.ee/justinbarkertv
