Zero To Travel Podcast Lessons From Running Every Street In Glasgow, Scotland w/ Michael Shanks
Have you ever wondered what type of adventure is waiting in your own backyard?
This week I am joined by Michael Shanks, who put that question to the test when he went on an epic quest to run every one of Glasgow’s 6110 Streets.
If you have ever yearned to explore your city in a new way, you don’t want to miss this episode. We talk about what inspired Michael to start his journey, the surprising things he learned about Glasglow along the way, and why anybody can accomplish big goals.
What is your favorite way to explore your home city or town? I'd love to about it and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
