Gina Johansen grew up on a horse farm in rural Sweden, riding before she could walk. By 19, she was halfway around the world chasing a life most people only dream about. And that was just the beginning.
What followed was a series of expeditions that would stop most people cold — literally. Solo crossings. Record-breaking distances. Temperatures so brutal they don't belong in a conversation about human endurance. Yet somehow, Gina kept going back for more.
In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what it actually feels like to be alone in the kind of wilderness that doesn't forgive mistakes — and why, for her, that's exactly the point.
Her next goal? Even bigger. And she's already moving toward it.
If you've ever talked yourself out of something hard, this one's for you.
