Walking Around the World with Tracy Pawelski, adventure traveler and author of the One Woman Travel Series.

Join Tracy as she takes us around the world on several famed long-distance walks including El Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage in Spain, the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas, and Ireland's scenic Dingle Way. Tracy's books feature the lessons learned on a long walk and how to find the courage to continue when things don't go as you planned. In October 2023, Tracy returned to Spain as a volunteer in a 15th-century hostel welcoming pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Don't miss her high-impact storytelling about exploring the world on foot and the people she meets along the way.

Professionally, Tracy has extensive experience in strategic communications and reputation management. She is the former spokeswoman for Giant Food Stores where she led teams responsible for media relations and community engagement. She has worked for Governors, Congressmen, and in the Executive Office of the President in Washington, DC. Tracy is also a published author of One Woman’s Camino and One Woman in the Himalayas, stories about her adventures walking around the world. She is a local elected official in York County and a ski instructor, along with her husband Rick, at Roundtop Mountain Resort. Tracy is currently working on a children's story set in 1925 rural Pennsylvania featuring a curious little girl named Rosie and her menagerie of barnyard friends.
