Video of the Week: Find Your Wild | Inspiring Female Overlanders

When Sunny Eaton and Karin Balsley started gathering information about overlanding in preparation for their trip from Nashville to Panama, there weren’t many resources for women available at the time. So, the couple decided to create a space that would reflect their voices in the community. In this week’s featured video, we join Sunny and Karin as they explain how overlanding has changed them and how they’ve created a space for women to share ideas, connect, and push themselves, discovering what is truly possible.

Ashley Giordano’s first foray into overland travel involved a 48,800-kilometer journey from Canada to Argentina with her husband, Richard, in their well-loved but antiquated 1990 Toyota Pickup. Currently cruising along the iconic Silk Road in a 2008 Toyota Tundra, her full-time navigator duties are rewarded with bowls of plov and lagman noodles, hikes in the Tian Shan, and countless cups of fragrant Tashkent tea. As senior editor at Overland Journal, you can usually find Ashley buried in a pile of travel books, poring over maps, or writing about the unsung women of overlanding history, including her enduring inspiration, Barbara Toy. @desktoglory_ash
