378 Lynn Larson: Traveling the World—Curious, Confident, and Carefree
Episode 378
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
For more than five decades, Lynn Larson has followed her curiosity across continents—and she’s nowhere near finished. At 71, she travels light and lives large, forging deep connections everywhere she goes. Her journey began as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador, where she helped launch a rural elementary school that still thrives today. Friendships formed in other parts of South America 40 years ago endure.With her husband, James, Lynn has recently completed two legs of an ambitious round-the-world adventure, spanning the Americas, Africa, and Europe. Next stop: India, the Far East, and beyond. Lynn’s style? Minimal planning, maximum openness. One suitcase, one backpack, endless possibility. “We’re curious,” she says. “And we have no fear.” For Lynn, home isn’t a permanent place (except for the lake home in Minnesota); it’s a feeling she creates wherever she lands, among family, friends, and the wider world.“The world is a big, beautiful place; regardless of our differences, we are all the same.” - Lynn LarsonConnect with LynnEmail: l_k_l@msn.comThanking Our Sponsor—Women’ Connection, a vibrant, member-led nonprofitorganization for women who are at least 50 years old.
