Amanda Zito - Art, Adventure & The Open Road

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Zito, the storyteller, artist, and adventurer behind As the Magpie Flies and BlindThistle. We talk about everything from her passion for motorcycles and creating on the road to the realities of traveling as a woman, dealing with anxiety, learning to rest, building community, and finding connection through shared adventures. Amanda opens up about trips, the evolution of her roadside camping setup, her long-running home camping event, and how she balances creativity with exploration through art, whether thats with a lens or watercolor & ink.

If you love stories from the road, honest conversations, and the intersection of art and adventure, you’ll get a lot out of this one.
