Dinner with Maiu Reismann and Francis Tapon

Was having dinner with Maiu Reismann and Francis Tapon this evening, a uniquely inspiring couple who like to travel on a shoe string. Francis Tapon is a public speaker, consultant, and life coach. He has traveled to over 60 countries and plans to backpack the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. He was born and raised in San Francisco, is half French, and half Chilean. He has a degree with Honors in Religion from Amherst College and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Whilst Maiu Reismann seems like a true adventurer and good hearted women who is open to just about anything. They make a great couple.

They usually set off from country to country with nothing but a tarp and other basic ultralight equipment with the intention of just pitching up where ever is convenient. They can be characterised as a couple who almost continuously travel to absorb what ever the world throws their way, with a little help from being ready to camp or use the couch surfing project.

“Hike Your Own Hike” Francis’s latest book teaser:

Francis Tapon knew he had a good life—he had a great career, fantastic friends, a nice home, and a cool electric shaver. However, something was missing. His life was good, but not great. It was quite predictable and safe, but thoroughly uninspiring. He wondered how to take his life to the next level. He thought it would be smart to do what the sages do: hang out in the woods for several months and get some wisdom. Although he ultimately found wisdom, finding it wasn’t as easy or as romantic as all those spiritual books say it is. They neglect to mention that during the hot humid summer months there’s no air conditioning in the woods. Hike Your Own Hike balances the story of an adventurous and insightful trip across the Appalachian Mountains with practical advice on how to squeeze the most out of life both on and off the trail. It’s enlightening, educational, and entertaining. It’s a serious book that doesn’t take itself so seriously. Hiking the entire Appalachian Trail in one season has soared in popularity over the last 20 years. Compared to 1986, there are eight times more people trying to “thru-hike” it! What accounts for this phenomenon? Today people are overly stressed and need a break to return to the fundamentals. Feeling disconnected from the rhythms of life, hikers go on multi-month trails to recalibrate their perspective and to remind themselves of what really matters. Hike Your Own Hike is about an incredible pilgrimage, what we can learn from it, and how to enrich our lives without getting too muddy.
