An adventure podcast
By sharing our tips, tricks, and stories of Type 2 Fun adventuring in the outdoors, I hope to empower other women to find the courage to get out there and do the same.
The Art of Type 2 Fun is an adventure podcast, made for women, by women. Well, one woman, actually. Karey Miles is an adventurer chick, currently based in Phoenix, Arizona. She is actively seeking adventures by foot and by bike around the globe. She is an avid cyclist both on and off the road and while she used to race her bicycle, she is now most passionate about the art of epic adventure. She also dabbles in utlra-running and hopes to continue that journey wherever it may lead her! Whether back- or bike-packing, she is always on the search for her next hoorah. She is the founder and past director of the all-women's cycling team, West Coast Women's Cycling, as well as a long-time advocate for women's cycling and adventure-riding and running in Oregon and Arizona.
The Art of Type 2 Fun adventure podcast had been a dream of Karey’s for quite a while before it actually came to fruition in the beginning of 2024. Karey noticed that there weren’t many podcasts/informational Go-To’s about adventuring in the great outdoors that were made by women, and she wants to change that. It’s great to be able to learn from everyone out there, but the feeling that she gets when she sees a woman out there in the backcountry being a badass is like no other. Karey hopes that by fueling this fire, and sharing tips, tricks and talking about how to be a rad lady in the outdoors, that other self-identifying women will get out and do the same.
It’s an intresting feeling knowing that you are about to embark on a journey that will ultimately change the person that you are. You will come back not the same, you will not come back into your front door the same person you left it three weeks before. And the thought of that… that makes your stomach tie in knots, but it also makes the tiny hairs stand up on the back of your neck. And both of those things combined are why you do step out that door into the unexpected...into that life-changing adventure. It is why we come back again and again, as long as our mind and our body allows us to do so. Knowing that we can go into this adventure and into the wild knowing that there are somethings out of our control, some things we cannot determine, and yet we know these are the things that will help us grow and change the most. And it is those of us that seek that challenge that have the opportunity to share this growth with others who may have not yet discovered what the wild Mother Nature can bring to us. It is our responsibiltiy to share that with others and what we have learned in our hearts as we feed from her wild and unwielding nature.
It is not the adventure itself that is what you pine for. It is the growth and opportunity that awaits you on the other side.
