If you had a week off from work how would you spend your time?

Your answer might be a little different from what Oline Sørensen (@scandi_oline) decided.

With seven days off from work, Oline set out alone to walk from London to Paris.

Before reaching her goal of standing on top the Eiffel Tower, she had to face 380 kilometers (236 miles), sketchy country roads, eerie forests, swollen / blistered feet, and much more.

Why would anyone do something like this?

Oline believes you can do anything you set your mind to. After walking 50 kilometers around London one day, she thought bigger and decided to put this mindset to the test.

She also walked to raise awareness and money for mental health, with all donations going to the mental health charity, Mind.

Our conversation goes way beyond Oline’s walk. She opens up about her past mental health battles and shares deep personal insights from her own experiences.

Daniel James (IG: @danflyingsolo) is obsessed with exploring the world and meeting amazing people while getting as lost as possible with his camera.

Dan just returned from a 1467 day trip around the world which saw him living and working in different countries whilst creating a new career all around travel.

In 2014, Dan decided to pursue a life of adventure and exploration full-time. He left his career in the hospitality and restaurant industry to travel the world and share his experience through his blog, DanFlyingSolo.

Along the way, he taught himself photography and videography to capture his adventures and share on Instagram / YouTube. He also learned web design and worked from his laptop at night to help fund his travels.

Dan loves to travel solo (if you didn’t catch that from his blog name), immerse himself in new cultures, connect with people from all walks of life, and find off the beaten path destinations.

Dan’s story is an incredible example of sacrifice, hard-work, and following your passions.

He now creates content with different travel and media companies all over the world. He was one of seven people selected as a Lonely Planet Pathfinder, which means he regularly goes on assignment and creates quality material for the Lonely Planet global audience.

He is also starting a digital media company in Portugal, where he currently lives.

Excitement and adventure take many shapes and forms.

Some people fulfill this through something like camping or trying an exotic food. For Henk van Dillen, he fulfills his adventurous side a bit differently.

For example, some of the things Henk has done include:

• Cycling 16,000 kilometers from Rotterdam, Netherlands to Singapore over the course of a year.

Henk van Dillen is a global adventurer and blogger on topics like travel, personal growth, and living a life of adventure without breaking the bank.

He believes anyone can live an adventurous life without much money or the best equipment. He proved just how possible this belief was in 2015 when he set out on a journey to cycle 16,000 kilometers from Rotterdam, Netherlands to Singapore.

Listen to our interview to hear his full story and upcoming adventure cycling in the Russian Arctic Circle.

Balancing health and exercise is a difficult task for many long-term travelers.

How do we indulge in the foods and drinks of a culture without destroying our bodies? Or, erasing what we’ve done health wise before traveling?

Healthy living might not be your main focus if your trip is only a week or two. But, what happens when you’re traveling for a long period of time like six months or more? You don’t want to ignore your body, mental health, and eat like crap for every meal.

How do we maintain and improve our physical health, eating habits, mentality, and spirit without equipment or consistent areas to practice?

Phillip Louie from Episode 12 joins the podcast to explore these questions.

This episode focuses on the world of Workaway and other exciting travel topics.

Our discussion takes place while volunteering at the WaGaLiGong Surf Hostel & Bar in Dulan, Taiwan. We were able to land this opportunity thanks to the website, Workaway.

Workaway is a platform to connect people (mostly travelers) with hosts. From their website, "It's the world's leading community for volunteering, working, and cultural exchange."

This helps people explore an area for cheap. Accommodations and meals, which are often a traveler's largest expenses, are provided in exchange for work.

• Drug legality in different countries.
