Award-winning travel journalist Lisa Niver takes us behind the scenes of her remarkable career spanning all seven continents and more than 100 countries. With warmth and candor, she reveals how a former teacher and medical school student transformed personal hardship into a life of extraordinary adventure.Lisa's journey resembles a game of "Shoots and Ladders" – unpredictable, challenging and ultimately rewarding. She shares how working at Club Med and on cruise ships opened doors to global exploration when she couldn't afford exotic trips on a teacher's salary. These experiences laid the foundation for her website We Said Go Travel, which she launched in 2010 while traveling through Asia with her then-husband.The conversation takes an emotional turn as Lisa discusses her memoir "Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After 50." Written partly in her therapist's office, this award-winning book chronicles how travel became her path to healing and reinvention following divorce. Her vulnerability in sharing both triumphant adventures and painful struggles resonates deeply with readers seeking their own fresh start.Among Lisa's most thrilling experiences? Hula-hooping at the southernmost post office in Antarctica, completing a polar plunge in both polar regions within six months, mountain biking despite childhood trauma and paddleboarding in Antarctic waters. These adventures aren't just personal victories – they're content for her prolific output across National Geographic, Reader's Digest, television segments, podcasts and social media channels with over two million YouTube views.For media professionals, Lisa offers invaluable insights on building genuine relationships with PR teams based on mutual support rather than transactions. Her approach to content creation is equally refreshing: start small, stay consistent and remember that even the most daunting goals can be achieved "one bite at a time." Lisa's journey proves it's never too late to reinvent yourself through courage, persistence and a passport.
