Our adventure travel guru Katherine Parker Magyar spent a couple of weeks in the Maldives (June 2021) and came back with more exciting experiences than a single podcast can hold, but we certainly tried our best to get it all in. It's one island one resort in the Maldives---translation; great service and no over crowding.

Katherine came away impressed with the countries overall biodiversity. From lush jungles to pristine waters, all of it is meticulously maintained by the people of the Maldives. She's a certified scuba diver who embraced the challenge of diving with the sharks, and she was not disappointed. Katherine also had a spectacular interaction with a beautiful sea turtle  just to name a few of her underwater adventures.

From scuba diving in crystal clear waters to multi-island overwater bungalow resorts to the culture and people---Katherine can't wait for her return trip to this atoll paradise. And oh, the hospitality...if you love being waited on this is the place.

Our adventure travel guru Katherine Parker Magyar takes us to one of the most beautiful places on earth---New Zealand. Few places on the planet possess the blend of pristine beaches, glacier capped mountains and the most lush greenery you will ever lay eyes on.

The country is an outdoor adventure paradise.  Bungy jumping from one of New Zealand's highest bridges to Skyjumping some 630 feet off the Skytower in Auckland, Katherine did that and more. She only has two regrets---she couldn't stay longer and she didn't get to try Heli-hiking on New Zealand's South Island due to inclement weather. She did test her mettle with a little hiking and driving windy mountain roads on the left---not for the faint of heart if you are used to driving on the right. And guess what? She made this journey to New Zealand by herself. Oh, and that mountain driving, Katherine tells us she went several hours without seeing a single person on the road.

If you need a good adrenalin rush check out this video in the post on our website tripcast360. If that doesn't make your heart pump a little faster nothing will.

But there's more to New Zealand than leaping off tall buildings in a single bound. Katherine raves about the friendliness of the Kiwi people (New Zealanders) along with the kindness extended to her by the Maori people. Their Polynesian influence can be scene and felt everywhere. 

There's still more. You'll need to listen to find out. Enjoy!
