i decided i'm breaking the rules i'm not breaking them kind of like bending them
if i told you i was feeling amazing this morning i would be lying
to be honest i think i think i'm hungover
all right let's do this welcome to my 12 hour walk inspired by colin o'brady i'm taking a totally
disconnected 12-hour walk i just so happen to be traveling in the bahamas okay bye let's do it
it's been about 30 minutes and i already drank most of my water
starting to heat up
it's pretty rainbow i feel like i have it easier than other people because since i'm traveling like
everything i'm looking at is new so i get to like discover all these things humps for one mile let's
hope man these bugs
it's hot it's basically empty
i didn't expect this to be a problem but the bees are a problem
apparently my hat is trapping them they like fly at me and i'm always like
uh probably two feel something developing just gonna adjust my shoes a bit and pretend ow
see oh my god everything's biting me i'm wearing a lot of bug spray but you know it's a problem
stray dogs i mean generally stray dogs like it's not a big deal you just don't really
pay attention to them and but i've had enough issues with stray dogs like literally attacking
me especially well mainly in mexico i guess well no also in cambodia when i was riding a bike
one of the things that's cool about being disconnected is i notice everything a pretty
detailed oriented person that notices a lot of things that most people don't notice but now
that i'm just totally focused on my surroundings i notice everything i've seen some cool [ __ ]
but i can feel this blister it's um starting to feel pretty gnarly on the blister front i'm now
wondering if i were to switch to flip-flops how far could i walk flip-flops only one way to find
out out of water but since i downloaded the google maps i don't actually have to turn airplane mode
off and so i can navigate and see where i'm at definitely took a lot of the wrong turns
thank you tarjay not tarjay in the bahamas you know tarjay in the united states and i
brought this with me this is the moment i would normally check my phone you know
i just get to eat my snack and stare at stuff by the way if you're new here yo
i'm christine lozada with where in the world is cl and i make travel videos
every week to help you get up get out and go travel so if you like to travel consider
subscribing this travel adventure is actually part of a podcast series i'm doing on my travel podcast
everyday badassery so make sure you check the description for more info about that if you're
wondering what is the 12 hour walk colin o'brady walked across antarctica breaking a world record
and the only way he was going to make it is if he'd walked 12 hours a day and he has challenged
10 million people around the world to do this you can be one of them more info in the description
when i woke up this morning i told myself i can't do this and it's not for the reason you would
expect it's not because i have the runs because i totally it's either the water i've been eating
stuff that's making me sick it's pretty bad it's basically like every time i go to the bathroom
it's like too much information it's because every single day i have been paddling and uh
it has not been nice but today today is is that is that and normally so i've been going out every
single day and it has been treacherous oh look fish and when i go down i usually can't even go
down this way because like the waves are crashing so hard i have to go down the other steps and it's
like a 15 minute process to get in but today oh my god beautiful and it was like this this
morning and usually by this time it's crazy wavy like the kind where even if you're sitting down
you're gonna get knocked over and this might be my chance to make it all the way to the islands
i gotta do it i'm thinking back to my conversation with blake and one of the things he said is i hope
you have a really meaningful experience i was thinking about like what i filmed last night
in terms of my intentions for today and part of the reason why i'm here is because i'm insanely
burned out and everyone tells me oh christine you just need to get some rest you just need to sleep
more and you know what sleep and rest don't give you your creativity back you know what does being
in the places that make you truly happy and for me that's being in on and around the ocean and so
i realized in walking today around the stray dogs getting hit on by lots of bahamian men and feeling
generally unsafe i i feel safer being out here paddling alone and this is truly my happy place
this is why going to the bathroom in the bahamas is way better
i think it's here refill my water have some coffee actually from earlier and uh two words
i'm traveling like really happy but i feel like i should feel more discomfort
i feel like as i think about all the other people doing this walk today
there are going to be some people who are super miserable and i feel like i should be
more miserable so i think a huge rain cloud's coming in so i'm gonna go back out uh that was
a really short break um and in theory it will pour rain on me and that will make it miserable
but maybe i'll finish the day uh by walking because like it's it's uncomfortably hot it's like
really hot and as soon as i start walking i mean the bugs will be all over me and that
that's gonna be miserable hot and miserable damn it's beautiful can you see what i'm looking at
actually my legs are sore from walking from earlier to be honest and right now my shoulders
my arms are like i hate you i hate you that's what my uh folders are saying to me right now
no wind now and it's super still and i know this storm's moving pretty fast
and i i know it's coming because uh not just because i can see it but because the local there's
a lot of locals on the beach right now a lot of bohemians on the beach and they are their ladies
um it's my cue to leave
my body actually feels really good hold on this is funny i'm dizzy because i'm hot like i'm really
really hot um which now when the bahamian men hit on me if i just take off my sunglasses look
them in the eyeballs with how freaking hot i am right now they all just they leave me alone it's
working amazingly but what hurts right now is holding my water bottle so from paddling
so much because i just i mean i just recovered with my hand oh it's raining on me that
i just recovered with my hand um i'm not used to like having good grip strength
after falling in kansas whatever anyway holding the water bottle is exhausting
that escalated quickly
i got myself out of that
who's following situation oh what do i do run i think we're on all right we're running let's go
i've been here before i'm gonna be here again here we go we got this lazada
all right team 11 hour walk
oh well i don't know maybe it'll take me a while i don't know how to call a taxi um so
i don't have a taxi driver's phone number and the taxi driver that was sitting the
parking lot over there looked sketchy af so that boom that's my ticket out of here
that might take me an hour to get back
damn which by the way like what happened back there happens to me a lot it's just never been
captured like that and i've never booked it out of somewhere so slow i'm hot i'm so dizzy i'm so hot
i'm not usually this much of a complainer
it's hot that guy looks sketchy all right i'm out that one right there bye airplane
mode is off and i gotta film the closing video i made it i'm stoked i made it my walk clopped in
at 11 hours and 20 minutes so a little shy at the end aside from the unfortunate experience in which
some random bohemian dude wouldn't stop following me uh i had a fresh pair of nikes on though so
i was able to book it out of there i broke every rule in the book but i also had a super rewarding
experience and i really felt connected with myself and i feel like i had a really meaningful day
i'm thankful for it i would say there are three things i can't stop thinking about
one is i can't wait to just call my family and call me paul and tell them i love them
um the second one is i i can't wait to fly my drone and the last one is um i have been so hot
all day i cannot wait for a super cold glass of really good
it champagne fun i didn't expect it to be fun it was fun
except for the last part to do all right how was it oh man it's like sweaty
whatever
