Episode 90: Kristen & Ville Lost the Map

On this episode: Yada-yada-yada, death vs thrash metal, lucha libra, and some pretty epic adventures. We sit down with Kristen and Ville Jokinen to talk about how they met scuba diving in Vietnam, went on to crew on a sailboat, thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail, and ultimately biked from Alaska to Argentina — all with very little prior experience.

They are currently on a book tour, and you can find where and when they will be in town on their website.

In this Episode

• We Lost the Map – Kristen & Ville’s website.
• Their trail names on the PCT: La Fonda and Eurotrash.
• Border crossing tip: go early and know about the local futbol teams.
