  • Why Bike & Boat Tours Are One of Europe's Best-Kept Travel Secrets

    Finally: a fun and affordable way to explore Europe! Join us today to learn about taking a European vacation on a boat and bike tour, where you can see some of the best destinations in Europe on a mostly all inclusive tour.

    On a Boat and Bike tour, you only need to unpack ONCE as your 'hotel' is a beautiful sailing ship or barge with a private bath. Each day you cycle to explore a new destination, either with a guide or self-guided, as your ship moves with you.

    On today's show, we interview well-loved BoatBikeTours.com cycling guide Tammy about all things boat and bike tours... we learn the best tours for beauty, wildlife, history, beginners and the undiscovered gems. BoatBikeTours.com is an affiliate of ATA and they offer my listeners an exclusive discount.

    Email me for the current BoatBikeTours.com Promo Code.

    You'll learn what to expect on your virtually all inclusive week long boat and bike tour. Learn about the types of ships, the wonderful food, and what a typical vacation cycling day would be like. You'll also learn why a boat and bike tour makes a great option for those traveling with different physical abilities as you can use an e-Bike or not, or sail with the ship or cycle, as you prefer.

  • Misogi: Take an Adventure That Could Change Your Life

    What's Your Misogi? Why It's Never Too Late for a Big Adventure

    What if you chose one challenge each year that was so meaningful—and just a little bit intimidating—that you weren't sure you could actually accomplish it? That's the idea behind Misogi, a Japanese-inspired concept centered on taking on a difficult, transformative challenge. It doesn't have to be a huge physical feat or an extreme adventure. The goal is to step beyond your comfort zone, test yourself, and discover what you're capable of.

    In this episode, we explore why deliberately doing hard things can be so powerful, especially as we get older. A Misogi can give you something exciting to work toward, create a sense of purpose, and remind you that adventure and personal growth don't have an expiration date. Whether your Misogi is climbing a mountain, tackling a challenging trek, learning something completely new, or simply doing something that scares you a little, the important question is: What would you love to accomplish if you weren't afraid of failing?

    COMPLETE SHOW NOTES See important links for planning your Misogi adventure, photos and more cool info about today's show.

  • When Travel Goes Wrong : Part I

    How Smart Travelers Handle Problems, Disasters & Unexpected Adventures

    In this three part series, we will explore the main problems that you may run into on your travels and how to prevent and/or mitigate them. We will cover health issues, money problems, navigation snafus, communication challenges, document loss problems, as well as the less common but more serious civil unrest or major natural disaster.

    To start the series, I interview Rebecca, an avid traverler who has had more than her share of major calamities on the road. She hasn't let fear of mishaps stop her from adventuring around the world. Her great attitude is one of the biggest reasons she can travel around the world and showcases the importance of mental strength. Brush up and build up your resilience by checking out this popular earlier show on building your resilience and grit.

    Be sure to get the printer-friendly checklist so you are prepared to mitigate problems on all of your future travels. Get access with the free newsletter.

  • Annapurna Base Camp Trek for Regular People: Nepal's Most Rewarding Himalayan Adventure

    Dreaming of trekking in the Himalayas without needing to be an elite mountaineer? In this episode of Active Travel Adventures, we explore the unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp Trek — one of the world's most scenic and achievable high-altitude adventures for active travelers over 50 (also known as ABC or Annapurna Sanctuary Trek).

    If Everest Base Camp feels too crowded, too expensive, or too demanding, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek may be your perfect alternative. You'll walk through charming Gurung villages, terraced rice fields, rhododendron forests, and glacier-carved valleys before standing beneath a breathtaking amphitheater of Himalayan giants, including Annapurna I, Machapuchare (Fish Tail), and Hiunchuli.

    In this episode, you'll learn exactly what it's like to trek to Annapurna Base Camp, how fit you need to be, the best time to go, what to pack, and why this trek is ideal for mature adventurers who want a real challenge with extraordinary rewards.

    Whether you're researching your next walking holiday, planning a bucket-list trek, or simply love adventure travel stories, this episode will help you decide if Annapurna Base Camp belongs on your travel list.

    In This Episode You'll Discover:
    • Why the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the best Himalayan hikes for non-technical trekkers
    • How it compares with Everest Base Camp
    • Trek difficulty, altitude, and daily walking expectations
    • Best months for clear skies and comfortable trekking weather
    • What to pack for Nepal's changing mountain conditions
    • Tea houses, food, guides, and trail logistics
    • Why travelers over 50 often love this trek
    Why Listen?

    If you've ever wondered, "Can someone like me really trek in Nepal?" — this episode is for you. We focus on adventures for real people, especially active midlife and older travelers who want meaningful experiences, smart planning, and inspiration to keep exploring.
