Terra Roams

What walking can do for oneself Ep 74

On Episode 74 of the Explore Your Core Podcast I am joined by record holder Terra Roams who was the first female to walk solo and unsupported around Australia. That wasn’t a one off out of the blue feat for her, rather it was an ode to who she is- a wanderer. A woman who has spent her journeys exploring, soaking in different cultures, surroundings and adventures that challenge herself. In a Red Bull article they described her as “one of the most interesting people we’ve ever talked to”.

In this episode she speaks about her upbringing and the influence Robyn Davidson “Tracks” had on her saying at 12 she resonated with her connection to nature. She speaks about the importance of being in nature and it’s meditative and healing properties.

I found an ideal state of meditation while walking. It was as if time and distance suddenly meant nothing”.

Terra doesn’t use hiking as a way to run away or escape problems but rathers sees it as a place for emotions to come up, a place for sadness and pain to come to the surface and be released.

Terra Roam has just released a book called Are Ya Right, Mate?” which is available, use TEZR15 for a 15% discount.
