Ep 52 | Alison Van Dusen: Nomadic Park Ranger & World Traveler
Manage episode 283186396 series 2862963
I talk with Alison Van Dusen, a backcountry park ranger who has worked in 20 U.S. National Parks over the last 28 years. In between seasonal work, she lives as a nomad and travels around the world – often doing volunteer service work. She has been to at least 30 countries on six continents, and even spent 2 summers working in the South Pole.
Alison shares what sparked her love of travel, how she became a park ranger, and why she started traveling internationally. She also shares amazing stories, tips for volunteering abroad, and how she’s navigating the pandemic.
