Nancy Brown likes to joke around that she “sleeps around a lot… but in a good way!” Combining her love of horses with her passion for travel and writing, Nancy shares her adventures through her blog, website, and various publications.

Believing that travel is better on the back of a horse, Nancy has ridden in Canada, the Caribbean, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, Switzerland, Portugal, all over the US, and in countless other beautiful locations.

In today’s episode, Nancy recounts some of her favorite travel experiences on horseback, gives great advice and tips on traveling alone, and how to manage a lengthy horse ride at any age. She also talks about her top riding locations, her travel Bucket List, and her “must see” horse-related attractions around the world.
