Department of British and American Studies FF UPJŠ had the unique opportunity to welcome on Monday, 26 September 2022, an American hiker Ms Heather Anderson, a 2019 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. Heather spoke to students about her experience, adventures, and preparations for hiking the three longest trails in the US – Pacific Crest, Appalachian, and Continental Divide Trail, which she managed to hike within one year as the first woman in American history. Her inspiring talk was met with students’ numerous questions and responses.
Our words of thanks go to the Embassy of the USA in Bratislava, thanks to whom the visit of the precious guest and the presentation of the interesting scheme Summer Work & Travel Ambassarods Program could take place.
