One of the fastest-growing trends in the world of travel is adventure. Defining exactly what it means is a little tricky. For some, adventure could mean leisurely biking and hiking tours. For others, it might entail BASE jumping into an underground cave in Mexico. The main facets of adventure travel usually include traveling to a distant location, interacting with different cultures and undertaking a physical activity of some kind.

Can you imagine yourself paddling a kayak through the lush vegetation of the Amazon rainforest. Can you picture walking side-by-side with the mighty elephants of Africa? Maybe a bike trek along the Great Wall of China or a cattle drive through Patagonia is more your speed or camping under the stars on an iceberg in Antarctica sends your heart soaring. If any of these trips sound like a great way to spend your holiday, then adventure travel may be for you.

So today we are going to  share with you some of our own mistakes as well as those made by others, who shall of course remain nameless.  Overpacking? Underpacking? Getting a killer cell phone bill after a trip? Listen in and find out!
