Yellowstone and Teton National Park Adventures
Hike, bike and paddle on two of America's most popular national parks: Yellowstone and Grand Teton in northwest Wyoming!
One today's show, you will hear what you'd see and do, you'll learn about the landscape and wildlife, and details about our guest Irene's trip with my long-time affiliate Active Adventures (EMAIL ME for an exclusive ATA Active Adventures discount Promo Code good for any of their amazing worldwide adventures!).
Yellowstone is the USA's first national park and one of the busiest, so I highly recommend going with one of the licensed operators! They know when to go where to avoid crowds as much as possible, and often know of special places off the beaten path (and have access to them!).
In addition, you'll always have a van waiting for you at the end of a trail or paddle so you don't waste time going back and forth. All the details are taken care of for you so you can relax and enjoy your vacation!
The food and guides are fantastic on this almost exclusively all-inclusive adventure.

UK's BEST Walking Holidays - Self Guided Hiking Vacations
Walk the charming countryside of England, Scotland or Wales in the United Kingdom on one of these fantastic long distance paths!
Your holiday will be self-guided, so you walk at your own pace on your own timetable, stopping to savor a tea break or grabbing a meal or a pint at the pub. Your luggage is transported to each evening's charming inn, so all you have to carry is your day pack.
Breakfast is included, so either stop for lunch or pack a lunch for your walk, and then enjoy a local restaurant in the historic village that is your home for the night.
Meet plenty of locals and fellow international walkers on these famous and historic old trading paths. Since they were the original route that folks moved from town to town, they naturally chose the easiest route, so most of today's routes are fairly modest - and remember that they don't have many high mountains in the UK regardless! However, you will need to train so your feet and body are used to walking long distances day after day.
Walking holidays have become one of my favorite ways to explore a region. Discover why on today's show.
If you are interested in a walking holiday in Europe, I recommend going with my affiliate One Foot Abroad. Email me for a One Foot Abroad Promo Code ( the OFA Promo Code also works for their sister company, Follow the Camino who can help you plan your Camino).

Boat and Bike from Venice to Mantua 8 Day Cycling Adventure
What a fantastic way to explore Venice and the Italian countryside : by bike AND boat!
On today's show, we learn about a super fun and affordable way to explore one of Europe's most popular countries, but since we are traveling different that the other tourists, we are usually away from the crowds!
Our guests went with my affiliate BoatBikeTours.com, a terrific company which offers exciting boat and bike tours across Europe. Email me to get an exclusive BoatBikeTours.com promo code to save 50 euro on any of their fabulous tours!
On a boat and bike trip, you only need to unpack once as you sail from port to port, staying in your cozy private room with bath.
At each stop, you get to cycle about to explore the people, landscapes, culture, history and daily life. E-bikes are available at booking, but on this route, it is fairly flat and rated 2 out of 5.
While you know about delightful Venice, you may not have heard of the Po river basin and Mantua, which is one of Europe's most important wetlands and an important stop on the migratory path to and from Africa. So you'll get the chance to see lots of wildlife, including the year 'round flamingos.
Another fun stop is at a parmesan cheese factory, and many more.

8 Day Boat and Bike Tour of Provence - Carmargue France
Today we head to one of the most beautiful and popular regions of France, yet away from the busy crowds in the south of France.
We are heading to Provence and the Camargue region, on an 8 day boat and bike tour where we will visit fortresses and Roman ruins, enjoy local wines and cycle past vineyards, orchards and one of the most important wetlands in the world - all with just unpacking ONCE, since you'll be transported by boat between stops!
Birders will see many of the more tha 400 species that visit this area, including the charming flamingos with their comical upside down heads in the marsh as they search for brine shrimp.
You’ll see the best preserved Roman aqueduct in Europe and explore two of my favorite French towns: Avignon and Arles.
As we cycle along the quiet paths, we’ll encounter wild horses and Carmargue cattle. We’ll explore the landscapes made famous by Van Gogh and Cézanne. Along the way, we stop for coffee in charming villages and depending on the time of year you go, you can smell and see the amazing display of lavender so commonly grown in this stunning region.
Today’s adventure is one that anyone reasonably fit can do.
It's a fantastic holiday where you can be active but not have to worry except about whether to indulge in another pastry or glass. But since you HAVE been active - GO FOR IT:)

Trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal : An Adventure For Regular Hikers (who train!)
Looking for a superb challenge, surrounded by majestic beauty and a unique culture? Consider trekking to Everest Base Camp(EBC)!
You hike on the same path as the folks who are attempting to climb Mount Everest, ending at EBC, the last village before their final climb. It's also the one path that villagers and pack animals use to tranport goods up and down these Himalayan mountains, so you'll also get a fun cultural exchange as well!
Today, I interview Jack about his Active Adventures 18 day tour, which starts and ends in colorful Kathmandu in Nepal. You then fly in to the exciting Lukla airport before beginning your trek.
Active allows for acclimatization days offering you the best chance of a successful hike up to Everest Base Camp at 17,598’/5364m. You'll even have the option to climb even further later to the ridgetop of Kala Patthar at 18,208’/5550m for one of the most dramatic views in the world! Cross the Hillary Bridge, named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the first along with his porter, summited Mount Everest in 1953. Fly in and out of Lukla, one of the world's most exciting airports:) Try a yak burger (and be sure to stand mountainside when they pass you by on the trail!).
We discuss all the important things you need to know before deciding if this is the trip for you. Be sure to visit the webpage for more details and pics. And get the FREE Everest Base Camp Travel Planner as well.
If it is, be sure to email me for an exclusive $200 Off Active Adventures Promo Code (they won't let me publish it). You learn what to expect and pack, how to train, what you'll eat and where you'll sleep, how to deal with altitude and hygiene, and most importantly, what you'll see and experience! This adventure is a combo of Type I and Type II Fun (learn what that means, too).
This hike, along with climbing Kilimanjaro, are the two most difficult adventure travel trips that will be covered on the Active Travel Adventures podcast, rated at a 5 out of 5. BUT, both are doable for fit folks WHO TRAIN!
Be sure to check out the adventure travel training and the training for altitude shows we've done:

Guided Costa Rica Camino with Homestays and Daily Luggage Transfer
PART II: Join us as we continue our 175 mile/280 km Costa Rica Camino where, over 16 days, you walk from the Caribbean to the Pacific Ocean, across the entire country (indeed the continent and over the continental divide!). You'll experience an array of ecosystems and see wildlife and fauna in one of the most biodiverse regions of the world.
The hike is fully guided and includes all meals and daily luggage transfer. When I went, I did a combination of small lodges and camping. Our guest Laurie and her husband opted for a private tour for the two of them and they stayed in homestays, for a completely different experience than the one I covered last year.
Less than 1000 hikers have completed the Costa Rica Camino as of this recording! Learn all about it on the show and on the website and Travel Planner. I recommend going with my affiliate, UrriTrek. Use Promo Code ATA100 to save $100 on your full Costa Rica Camino.

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.
