This week’s guest is Yulia Frolova, a self-proclaimed – and literal – globe trotter. Yulia is the blogger behind the popular EquiGeo, a travel blog documenting her goal to ride a horse in every country around the globe. Her count so far? 45… and counting! And with 197 recognized countries (or independent states), Yulia has already made a great dent in her goal! Whether it’s in the desert, the deepest snow, or on her way to an audience with the Pope, Yulia is most in her element when she’s traveling the world… and seeing it from the back of a horse.   Most equestrians would see a job that requires international travel (as much as 25 times a year!) as a challenge to riding, but she has turned it into a fun adventure and a wildly popular blog. In this episode, Yulia speaks about how she set this goal for herself; how she balances riding, blogging, family, and work; some of her favorite memories from riding and trying different disciplines in their countries of origin; as well as some of the challenges she has faced while traveling. Yulia also recounts many of the fun memories from her travels, the people and horses she has met along the way, and the remarkable stories that have come from it all.
