02 Mar 2023Antarctica Expedition including the Falkland and South Georgia Islands00:45:36

Antarctica Expedition plus the Falklands and the South Georgia Islands : Part I

Best trip EVER!  Join me on an EPIC journey to the seventh continent:  Antarctica to see the wildlife, icebergs and glaciers of the south polar seas.  En route, we visit the Falkland and South Georgia Islands, rugged places of history and outstanding wildlife!  South Georgia is called the Serengheti of the Southern Oceans for good reason!

Learn what its like to go on an expedition ship where you are actually ACTIVE, instead of a regular cruise ship, and why you never run out of fun and exciting things to do.  

In Part I, we head to the Falklands and South Georgia islands.   I went on Hurtigruten's MS Fram.  I was blown away and can't wait to share it with you!

04 Mar 2021Hike the Camino de Costa Rica Part II00:46:39

Hike the Camino de Costa Rica!

Part II:  The Logistics

Costa Rica has a new long distance trail that runs from the Caribbean (Atlantic) to the Pacific Ocean.  This 16 day,  280 km/175 mi trail takes you through five ecosystems and more than a dozen rural villages not seen by most tourists.

In fact, the Costa Rica Camino is helping these locals afford to stay in their beloved home towns because they are feeding and housing the thru hikers, and even starting new businesses with optional excursions and classes!  It's a "Win-Win" for hikers AND locals!

But the trail is still new and the infrastructure is just being fleshed out.  On today's show (Part I of a two part series), we learn what we will see and experience.  In Part I, we learn about the trail itself...what you see and do.

You can see photos, download Part I, and get complete details on the SHOW NOTE HERE.

18 Apr 2024Costa Rica Camino Long Distance Coast to Coast Hike with Home Stays : Part II00:31:46

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.

05 Dec 2024Yellowstone and Teton National Park Adventure Vacation00:38:09

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.

01 Feb 2024Rafting the Grand Canyon Revisited00:41:06

The Grand Canyon is the United States' 15th national park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also considered one of the Great Wonders of the World. Ontario-based climber Mike Grainger talks about his experience whitewater rafting on the Colorado River.

06 Jun 2024Boat and Bike Provence - Camargue France00:37:59

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:)

20 Jun 2024Boat and Bike from Venice to Mantua 8 Day Cycling Adventure00:34:20

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.

Learm all about this fun Italian cycling vacation on today's show and at the website.  Get complete SHOW NOTES HERE.  See important links for planning your adventure, photos, videos and more cool info about today’s show.

05 Mar 2020Raft the Middle Fork of the Salmon River00:29:47

The Middle Fork of the Salmon River in central Idaho is one of the earliest designated Wild and Scenic Rivers in the US and is considered the crown jewel of the system.

The Salmon River flows through the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area.The river flows through a steep canyon with 7000’ of vertical drop, making it deeper than the Grand Canyon.

Last summer, I joined a dozen other ladies, soon to be friends, on a week long rafting and boating trip down this remote, untouched absolutely stunning wilderness where there is no electricity, no cell phones, not even a road or building for more than 2 million square acres!

It’s just us, a dory aka paddle boat for those who choose not to raft, and three rafts for those that do, plus four very skilled female guides and a supply raft with two crew.

So picture this: it’s just us and the pines, the canyons and the eagles, and of course the river.

Get the inside scoop on what you need to know before you raft one of the world's best whitewater rafting runs!

10 Dec 2020Trek Nepal's Annapurna Circuit00:57:12

Kit interviews Tracy Pawelski, author of One Woman's Camino and her recently released One Woman in the Himalayas, about her Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.

Not everything went as planned.  We discuss her trials and tribulations, and how adventure travel in general often goes awry, but that's ok.  The best travel stories come from the unexpected.

We learn about the Annapurna Circuit, and hear Tracy's story about how she got into long distance hiking when she walked the El Camino del Santiago in Spain with her daughter, followed by Scotland's West Highland Way with her husband.

See photos and the complete SHOW NOTES here.

15 Dec 2022Boat & Biking Tour of Southern Holland00:49:09

The perfect way to explore Southern Holland is by bike!  Even better, bike AND boat Holland so you only need to unpack once.  

Each day you bike (or simply chill out on the boat) to the next port.  You'll have plenty of time to check out cafes, museums and scenery as you explore this amazing, bike-friendly country!

You start and end your Dutch cycling holiday in Amsterdam and then bike through the Green Heart of Holland.  You'll also visit Rotterdam, the Kinderdijk’s windmills and Zaanse Schans.

The terrain is mostly flat, but E-bikes are an option if you want to conserve your energy for exploration of each new village.

At the end of the day, you meet up with the ship and sail off to the next stop.  Super easy and VERY convenient!  

All meals are included on this affordable European active vacation.

This is a great holiday if YOU want adventure, but your partner wants to chill (he or she can hang out on the boat and have a scenic boat tour each day!).  And you can decide each day if maybe YOU want to chill, too!

Kit interviews Charlotte about her BoatBikeTours.com Southern Holland bike and boat adventure tour.  This is Charlotte's ELEVENTH bike tour with BBT!!!  

And, as a new affiliate of Active Travel Adventures, you can use the exclusive Promo Code ATA50 to get 50 Euro off of any BoatBikeTours.com European bike and boat adventures!

22 Aug 2019Cycle Tour Northern Thailand from Bangkok to Chiang Rai00:45:49

Thailand has always been a go-to travel destination, and tourists are drawn to its capital, Bangkok. Instead of going that route, Emily Sedgwick and her husband chose to explore the rural parts of Northern Thailand through a cycle tour from Bangkok to Chiang Rai.

Our guests enjoyed every part of their guided tour going through hills, riding narrow boats through mighty rivers and visiting local villages. Emily and her husband got to see the best Northern Thailand has to offer like ethical elephant sanctuaries and sumptuous local dishes. Since they were exploring Thailand by bike, they got to observe the local people and their surroundings even more. Through their journey, Emily realized that Thailand has something for everybody, and she shares how you can have an amazing trip to Thailand as well.

01 Dec 2022Boat and Bike Tour Holland's Hansa Region00:32:15

The perfect way to explore Holland's Hansa Region is by bike!  Even better, bike AND boat Holland so you only need to unpack once.  

The Hansa cycling tour starts and ends in Amsterdam.  You'll bike along the Rhine & IJssel, and visit Hanseatic cities like Deventer & Kampen.  You'll also learn about the reclaimed polderlands.

Each day you bike (or simply chill out on the boat) to the next port.  You'll have plenty of time to check out cafes, museums and scenery as you explore this amazing, bike-friendly country!

The terrain is mostly flat, but E-bikes are an option if you want to conserve your energy for exploration of each new village.

At the end of the day, you meet up with the ship and sail off to the next stop.  Super easy and VERY convenient!  

Meals are included on this affordable European active vacation.

This is a great holiday if YOU want adventure, but your partner wants to chill (he or she can hang out on the boat and have a scenic boat tour each day!).  And you can decide each day if maybe YOU want to chill, too!

Kit interviews Jim about her BoatBikeTours.com Hansa Holland bike and boat adventure tour.  This is Jim's SIXTH bike tour with BBT!!!  

And, as a new affiliate of Active Travel Adventures, you can use the exclusive Promo Code ATA50 to get 50 Euro off of any BoatBikeTours.com European bike and boat adventures!

30 Apr 2020The West Highland Way of Scotland00:26:41

The best way to see Scotland’s bucolic countryside is on foot! 

Savor Scotland’s most popular long distance trail, the West Highland Way!  This 96 mile trail starts in Glasgow and finishes in Scotland’s adventure capital, Fort William. Kit even walked the Kelvin Way from Glasgow to the start of the trail in Milngavie.

Stay in medieval villages each night and walk the rambling countryside trail, often along Loch Lommond, during the day.  It’s magical AND doable for any fit person!  Walking holidays allow for a more immersive experience plus they are often less expensive than traditional vacations.

Learn how to hike it, what to expect and how to plan your adventure.

You can listen to the podcast episode, see photos and get more information about walking the West Highland Way at the website and even download a FREE Travel Planner!

We cover:

  • What is the West Highland Way
  • Where is the West Highland Way
  • When to walk the West Highland Way
  • How to plan your adventure
  • The different kinds of accommodations and why it’s so important to book in advance
  • How to have your luggage transported each day if you want so you can just day hike the trail
  • What to pack and what to do if the weather turns on you
  • Who can do this type of adventure
  • And much more!

25 Jun 2019New Zealand North Island Part III00:52:15

Part III - New Zealand Adventure Series : The North Island

The last two podcasts focused on the South Island, including Milford Sound, Mt Cook/Aorika, Queenstown, Kaikora Pennisula, Pancake Rocks and much more.
 
My original plan was to spend one week exploring solo, join Active Adventures (one of my affiliates) on their two week 'Rimu' tour and then continue solo once more for my final week in New Zealand.  However, I had so much fun with Active and my group, that once I found out that several of my tour-mates were going to catch the back half of Active's North Island 'Kauri' tour, I decided to scrap my plans (and prepaid accomodations and flight) and book the tour to join them.  Best idea I've had in a while!

Many people just explore the South Island, but seriously, make the time to head north!  It is completely different in landscape and feel, and isn't as crowded.  It was the perfect finale to an EPIC holiday!

18 Oct 2018Hiking Volcanoes in Nicaragua00:21:08

Hiking Volcanoes in Nicaragua

One of my most favorite trips was a hiking, backpacking and cultural adventure in Nicaragua, considered by many to be the next 'Costa Rica'.  

NOTE: It is imperative that you use a trusted guide service at this time as there have been incidents of unrest in recent years and you want to go with someone familiar with the current situation, for your own safety.  I also recommend visiting this State Dept link for the latest updates.

Contact me if you would like to reach out to my local guide (Marjorie and her team was fantastic!!!).

04 Apr 2024Costa Rica Camino Long Distance Coast to Coast Hike with Home Stays : Part I00:50:59

Guided Costa Rica Camino with Homestays and Daily Luggage Transfer

PART I: Join us as we discuss the new 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.

25 Oct 2018Hike, Bike and Kayak Adventures in Cassis France00:20:53

Hike, Bike and Kayak Adventures in Cassis France

I loved Cassis so much that I considered moving there!  Tucked along the Mediterranean Sea in the beautiful south of France (a brief train ride from Marseille!), is Cassis.  

I saw mostly French day tourists in this charming and unpretentious fishing village, so you get to experiencce the real France.  The stunning collanques (towering cliffs with cool bays to paddle and explore) offer great hiking and kayaking.  You can also take a boat tour through the many dramatic collanques.  Cycle through the neighboring vineyards and go on a wine tasting tour.  There is even a restored castle on the hill!

Learn all about this beautiful and exciting active adventure on today’s show.

19 Sep 2019Hike Wind River Range Wyoming00:44:43

The Wind River Range in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming, is the mountain range that inspired Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia clothing) to spend his life climbing mountains. Breathtaking in beauty, this remote and rugged mountain range is not nearly as well known as the Tetons, but is just as striking, and not as crowded.

Where is the Wind River Range located?

The Wind River Range is a couple hour drive south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Most people fly in to the beautiful Jackson Hole airport. Try to allow a couple of days to explore this great town, as well as some days hiking and playing in the Tetons just outside of town. You can listen to the Teton podcast episode and see more photos here.

The Wind River Range runs about 100 miles in a NW-SE direction, including about 80 miles of the Continental Divide following the crest of the range. The Wind River mountains include Wyoming's highest peak, Gannett Peak at 13,804′ (4207 m). The range includes two large national forests and three wilderness areas. 

The entire Wind River Range is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Part of the range falls within the Wind River Indian Reservations.

There are about 600 miles of hiking trails in the Wind River Range and many consider this are to have the most beautiful mountains in Wyoming.

07 Mar 2024Patagonia Part I: Hike the W Trek in Argentina00:36:06

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!

Hike the stunning Via Algarviana, a long distance trail in the gorgeous Algarve region of southern Portugal.  This beautiful and affordable adventure travel vacation is sure to inspire you!

Whether you hike the 185 mile/299 km trail all at once as our guest, Josh, did, or hike just one of the three 8 day segments, you’ll come away with an authentic Portuguese experience away from the crowds at the beach.

On today’s show you’ll learn what to expect on the trail, when to go, what to pack and what you’ll see.  Josh went with my affiliate, One Foot Abroad who has offered ATA listeners a 5% discount on ANY of their self-guided tours by using the Promo Code ATA5.

18 Feb 2021Hike the Costa Rica Coast to Coast Camino00:50:46

Hike the Camino de Costa Rica!

Costa Rica has a new long distance trail that runs from the Caribbean (Atlantic) to the Pacific Ocean.  This 16 day,  280 km/175 mi trail takes you through five ecosystems and more than a dozen rural villages not seen by most tourists.

In fact, the Costa Rica Camino is helping these locals afford to stay in their beloved home towns because they are feeding and housing the thru hikers, and even starting new businesses with optional excursions and classes!  It's a "Win-Win" for hikers AND locals!

But the trail is still new and the infrastructure is just being fleshed out.  On today's show (Part I of a two part series), we learn what we will see and experience, and in Part II, we will learn more of the logistics.

You can see photos, download Part II, and get complete details on the SHOW NOTE HERE.
