Active Travel Adventures podcast I Inspiring Multi-Day Adventure Trips Around the World

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'.

Building a Bucket List is a great way to help make sure you achieve your life's dreams.

Chase has a great story about how he went from practically suicidal to living an incredibly exciting life, all due to creating and then implementing his Bucket List.

In today's show you'll gain tips and insights as to why it is important to create your bucket list and practical ways for you to achieve your bucket list dreams. Encore performance: This popular episode was initially released on March 21, 2019. COMPLETE SHOW NOTES
