  • Patagonia Part II: Hike, Bike and Kayak Argentina and Chile

    In this Part II of our Patagonia adventure, we begin at the end of our W-Trek at Lake Grey, where we switch our hiking gear for sea kayaks, and venture out in this beautiful lake to kayak around icebergs and glaciers.

    We then move to the other side of Patagonia, from Chile now on to Argentina, where we explore the stunning Perito Moreno glacier, and see the Fitz Roy massif at Glacier National Park. We also get in some amazing biking to see more beautiful mountains and forests, plus several impoosibly blue and green glacial lakes.

  • Patagonia Part I: Hike the W Trek in Argentina

    Patagonia ranks in my Top 3 of the ‘Most Beautiful Places’ I’ve seen (and I’ve been to 50 countries and all seven continents). The rugged granite mountains are often snow capped in glaciers lit up by the sun. Those same glaciers have turned its many lakes into stunning milky blue and teal oasis that defy description.

    In Patagonia, you can hike one of most beautiful hikes in the world, the W-Trek including the French Valley and Grey Lake. You can also sea kayak around the icebergs and glacier in Grey Lake. On our trip, we also got in some amazing biking when we were over on the Argentinian side after we hiked and checked out the gorgeous Perito Moreno glacier. We spent some time eating and exploring the fun gateway cities of Puerto Morales, Punta Arenas, El Chaltan, and El Calafate.

    In this Part I, we hike the stunningly beautiful W-Trek in Chile [ 49.7 miles / 80 km · Total Elevation Gain: 8,956 ft / 2,730 ] over the course of four days, all the way to glacial Lake Grey. We stay in refugios, where we also get a hot and tasty breakfast and dinner each night.

    Learn all about going on an adventure in Patagonia and by listening to today's show and visiting the website. See why you will soon be adding Patagonia to your Bucket List!

  • Grit and Resilience : One Woman's Story

    Eva Simons 'Embraces the Suck' After a Tragic Mauling to Reboot Her Life

    Sometimes life punches you in the face and your dreams shatter. That's what happened to my friend Eva one afternoon last year. Eva shows true grit and fortitude. Her inspirational story will encourage you to embrace the suck when life throws you curveballs.

    I am also releasing a Bonus Episode of my companion podcast, the Adventure Travel Show, on Grit and Resilience to show you ways to strengthen your own resilience.

  • Avoid Crowds on the El Camino de Compostella

    There are three ways to avoid the crowds when doing the El Camino: avoid peak season, avoid the busiest routes, avoid the last 100 km into Santiago.

    Today's guest, David, chose a great way by walking the first two stages of the most popular route, the French Way, but instead of the last 100 km/60 miles like most people, he walked the first two stages over the Pyrenees from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Logrono.

    While David made many friends among the fellow 'pilgrims' walking the Camino at the same time. it wasn't crowded, even though he walked during the high season in July!

    Learn about David's adventure on today's show.

    SAVE!!! David went with ATA affiliate, Follow The Camino. ATA listeners get an exclusive Follow the Camino Promo Discount Code, ATA5, to save 5% off of any Follow the Camino booking (or their sister company, One Foot Abroad for other European walking and biking holidays).

  • YOU Did It!!! Listener Adventure Stories

    Today we start a new segment on the show featuring folks like you and me, who got inspired to step outside of their comfort zone and took on an adventure.

    While in the future, these will be shorter segments added to the regular show, I thought we'd start off with this incredible story of Sally, who thought she was heading for a wheel chair due to multiple injuries from her days as a dancer. Instead, through training, grit, and fortitude, Sally instead headed to the North Island of New Zealand and hiked the challenging Tongariro Crossing! Next, she'll climb Machu Picchu! Adventure travel has COMPLETELY changed she and her husband's life!

    Like Sally, it took someone (my friend John) encouranging me and who believed in me and convince me that I could, with proper training, that I too could go on an epic adventure. It is my hope that these listener stories will inspire you, too!

    COMPLETE SHOW NOTES See all the inspirational stories as they are published! Today's episode is a full length interview, but I will be adding shorter snips to this page in the future.

  • The Power of 'Yes'

    On today's special episode, we discuss the Power of Yes, and why saying 'yes' to opportunities that excite you, intrigue you and maybe even make you a bit nervous, can enhance your life and open up even more fantastic opportunities in the future.

    We talk about about when to say 'no' using Derek Sivers's philosophy of, "If it's not a 'hell yes', than it's a 'no'"!

    You'll also hear about my incredible experience moving four thousand sheep fifty miles on rural roads of Idaho to their shearing camp - one of my recent 'yeses'.

    COMPLETE SHOW NOTES See the transcript for this episode, plus get the links mentioned and other cool things.
