Travel, Adventure & Road Trips | Jits into the Sunset

This week we invite our friend and fellow van lifer @ChallengeSophie to join us in our campervan, Jits, for an honest and in-dept conversation about her journey from self-proclaimed unfit graduate, working in the high-paced corporate world, to an endurance athlete and advocate for the outdoors. 

Sophie is the only person in history to have cycled between and climbed the highest mountains in the eight Alpine countries, climbing five times the height of Mount Everest in 32 days. She has also cycled 300km from London to Paris in 24 hours on nine occasions, completed multi-sport adventure races around the world, raced her bike coast to coast across the USA, completed 100km ultra-marathons, and is a two-time Ironman finisher.

As well as her athletic accomplishments, Sophie founded Trailblazers, a project focused on helping school girls build confidence and tackle mental health issues through adventure and community.

Follow Sophie on Instagram @challengesophie and @theonelivevan for her van life journey. Watch Sophie's Ted Talk here
