Sofia Jin believes that if we are going to spend time in nature, we need to address the very human problems we bring with us: sexism, sexual harassment, eating disorders, and racism (to name a few). She stresses that talking about these  issues  shouldn't “ruin” the escapism possible in the great outdoors for anyone but in fact makes it safer, more inclusive, and somewhere everyone can feel heard and valued. About Sofia: Sofia is a British Korean explorer, entertainer, and creative. She’s a climber, diver, and Muay Thai practitioner, a member of The North Face UK Explorer Team, and an adventure athlete for Osprey Europe. Featured in this episode: Sofia JinHosted & Produced by Gale StraubEditing & production support by Julie HotzA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by Yonder, Danner, and Minus33Join the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesFeatured in this episode: Sofia JinInstagram:  @SofJin__Explore at Home seriesWebsite: https://www.sofiajin.com/Light DocumentaryElla's UKArticles/Reports referenced:Why Female River Guides Aren't Welcome in the Grand Canyon  via Outside OnlineHostile Environment via Outside OnlineDOI Investigative ReportRavel MediaSponsors and Discount CodesYonder: Get $100 off your first stay with the code SheExplores100 at checkout via Yonder.com.Danner: GO THERE in Danner’s most iconic women's styles by visiting Danner.com.Minus33: Learn more at Minus33.com.Episodes air weekly on Wednesdays-- subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.
