| 6/4/26 | ![]() When Travel Goes Wrong : Part I | How Smart Travelers Handle Problems, Disasters & Unexpected Adventures In this three part series, we will explore the main problems that you may run into on your travels and how to prevent and/or mitigate them. We will cover health issues, money problems, navigation snafus, communication challenges, document loss problems, as well as the less common but more serious civil unrest or major natural disaster. To start the series, I interview Rebecca, an avid traverler who has had more than her share of major calamities on the road. She hasn't let fear of mishaps stop her from adventuring around the world. Her great attitude is one of the biggest reasons she can travel around the world and showcases the importance of mental strength.

| 5/21/26 | ![]() Annapurna Base Camp Trek for Regular People: Nepal's Most Rewarding Himalayan Adventure | Dreaming of trekking in the Himalayas without needing to be an elite mountaineer? In this episode of Active Travel Adventures, we explore the unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp Trek — one of the world's most scenic and achievable high-altitude adventures for active travelers over 50 (also known as ABC or Annapurna Sanctuary Trek). If Everest Base Camp feels too crowded, too expensive, or too demanding, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek may be your perfect alternative. You'll walk through charming Gurung villages, terraced rice fields, rhododendron forests, and glacier-carved valleys before standing beneath a breathtaking amphitheater of Himalayan giants, including Annapurna I, Machapuchare (Fish Tail), and Hiunchuli. In this episode, you'll learn exactly what it's like to trek to Annapurna Base Camp, how fit you need to be, the best time to go, what to pack, and why this trek is ideal for mature adventurers who want a real challenge with extraordinary rewards. Whether you're researching your next walking holiday, planning a bucket-list trek, or simply love adventure travel stories, this episode will help you decide if Annapurna Base Camp belongs on your travel list. In This Episode You'll Discover: Why the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the best Himalayan hikes for non-technical trekkers How it compares with Everest Base Camp Trek difficulty, altitude, and daily walking expectations Best months for clear skies and comfortable trekking weather What to pack for Nepal's changing mountain conditions Tea houses, food, guides, and trail logistics Why travelers over 50 often love this trek Why Listen? If you've ever wondered, "Can someone like me really trek in Nepal?" — this episode is for you. We focus on adventures for real people, especially active midlife and older travelers who want meaningful experiences, smart planning, and inspiration to keep exploring.

| 9/18/25 | ![]() El Camino Portuguese Coastal Route Part II plus Finisterre (to the sea) | In Part II of our Camino adventure, we, as a group of Active Travel Adventures listeners, walk "solo together' to complete the Portuguese Way Camino Coastal Route with the beautiful Spiritual Way Variant. We all had the same itinerary and lodging, but we could walk our own Camino, each day deciding whether to walk with others in the ATA group, solo or with new friends met along the way. You'll learn what to expect when doing an El Camino ("The Way") to Santiago in Spain, where the relics of St. James are said to be buried under the magnificent cathedral. You'll get plenty of tips and insights about planning and doing your own Camino or long distance walking holiday. After concluding my solo-together group experience, I headed solo to Finisterre, another five days walk to the ocean, to the 0.00 km marker at 'The End of the Earth", where many 'pilgrims' would toss their ratty shoes in the sea and collect a shell to prove they'd completed their Camino.

| 8/28/25 | ![]() Netherlands by Boat and Bike with the ATA Community!!! | We (the Active Travel Adventures Community) are looking at a group of us booking the entire ship (24 guests maximum) for a week in July of 2027 to explore the northern Friesland region of the Netherlands. I am still working out the details, but is should be under €2000 per person, double occupancy. Note that we would sail in '27 NOT '26. When I interviewed my affiliate Boat Bike Tours top guide Tamara (Tammy) about her personal favorite European tour, she said hands down it was Friesland, in northern Holland: beautiful scenery, interesting culture and history and best of all, most people don't even know about it, so it's not over-touristed like so many cool destinations. I am now seeing what interest there is in reserving this boutique, comfy ship. Even though the tour is offered self-guided, and you can certainly do this using the app and map, we want to bring Tammy and another guide along, because guides add so much color to our exploration. They know the history and have great background stories, and they know the best places to see and stop, etc. Like my recent ATA Portuguese Way Camino group, where we went "Solo/Together", this would be the same: each day you can decide whether to ride with the group or self-guide, or even just sail with the ship and relax on board, or wander around town. We'd do this seven day boat and bike tour from a Friday to Friday. The port is easy to reach by a one hour train from Amsterdam.

| 8/21/25 | ![]() Hiking Guide: What to Do if your Get Lost in the Woods | Many of you are familiar with the disappearance of Gerry Largay, trail name Inchworm. In 2013, Gerry went missing near Stratton Maine on her thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. After Maine's most extensive search in their history, she was not found. In fact, it wasn't until more than two years later that a surveyor found her remains. So while you may be familiar with the story as it made international news, you probably don't know that Gerry was my friend and hiking buddy. Gerry stepped off the trail to go to the bathroom, and then got disoriented. Once she found herself lost in the woods, she didn't know what to do. Today, if you'll spare me a few minutes, I'll teach you what you are supposed to do if YOU get lost in the woods. This episode is in honor of my friend, Geradine Largay. In honor of Gerry, I produced this episode in hopes that it may help a fellow hiker who gets lost in the woods. Today, you will learn tips and techniques you can use if you ever find yourself lost in the wilderness. Please share this message with all of your hiking friends and family!
