The Most Unexpected Thing I Heard While Hiking: The Sound of Silence | TRAVEL TALK #181

Design Her Travel

In this week's Travel Talk episode, host Kim Anderson shares a personal story sparked by a recent conversation that unlocked a powerful memory. It’s a moment from her travels that's hard to put into words—and even harder to forget. It was brief, unexpected, and unlike anything she’s experienced before... or since.

This episode is all about those rare, strange, and beautiful travel moments that don’t come with a guidebook or a checklist—but leave a mark all the same.

🔹 A solo hike that turned into something completely unexpected
🔹 A moment of stillness that shifted Kim’s perspective
🔹 Why this short experience continues to resonate years later

If you’ve ever had a travel moment that stopped you in your tracks—or made you feel something you couldn’t quite explain—this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit play and see if you’ve ever experienced this too. Because let's be real... IYKYK
