'Conquering 7 Continents under 30'

What is it like to talk to someone who has conquered all 7 continents and not even turned 30 yet? Well, I got the chance to speak to Hope Weaver, someone who had embarked on a boat to Antarctica a day before her 27th birthday to complete this achievement.

Hope is someone I travelled with all over Morocco back in March 2016, as we met on a group tour. Since then, we have remained friends, and I thought it was time she shared her remarkable journey in her life with the world.

Hope and I discussed what it was like for her growing and where that initial love for travel came from. Growing up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where many Amish reside, she spoke to me about being questioned on why she was travelling as not many did from that part of the world.

We spoke about when I first met her and how she was this fearless solo traveller looking to explore and learn about new cultures.

Hope managed to conquer all 7 continents and to do it under 30. That alone is a feat not many people achieve in a lifetime, let alone under 30. Some of the biggest travellers and bloggers in the world haven't succeeded in doing so. You will find out whether this was a goal of hers and what was it really like to travel to Antarctica. Was it all worth it, and what did she learn from that experience?

Hope spoke to me about trying out different food on the road and how she always looks forward to that part of her travels.

We also spoke about her engagement and wanting a destination wedding-her thoughts on relationships, and perhaps why many people who travel are still single.

She told me about some of her hobbies and what else she would like to conquer when travelling.

It was a joy speaking to Hope and reminiscing at times. She is a courageous, ambitious and determined individual who seems to be heading to the moon with her mindset.

I look forward to seeing the next chapter in her journey, and it was a delight having her on the show.
