Marie Šnajdrová, originally from the Krušné hory mountains, discovered a passion for the wilderness during a trip to the Caucasus. She left her career in education to embark on a journey around the world, tackling challenging trails like the Pacific Crest Trail, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest Trail. Šnajdrová finds solace and inspiration for her art and writing far from civilization. She now embraces a life of solo hiking and exploration, preferring the challenges of the wilderness to the pressures of modern life, even fearing bears less than her mortgage. Her experiences are detailed in a new episode of the "Slepá mapa" podcast. Šnajdrová's story highlights a growing desire for connection with nature and a simpler lifestyle.
