    In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Pawel Durakiewicz — a multiple Guinness World Record holder who turned his life around after battling addiction and suicidal thoughts. Once on the brink of self-destruction, Pavel found healing through nature, movement, and radical resilience.

    He shares his journey from the depths of alcohol addiction to running barefoot marathons on ice, walking over 3,000 kilometers without shoes, and founding a recovery center in Sicily. Pavel speaks powerfully about how nature, yoga, and community helped him transform psychological pain into purpose — and how he now helps others rediscover the miracle within themselves.
