Welcome to the Active Travel Adventures podcast where you'll find inspiration to lead a bigger life through adventure travel.

On each show we explore exciting multi-day active vacations from around the world where you have to MOVE!  You'll have to hike, bike, paddle, horseback ride (sometimes in combination) to propel yourself to the next destination.

If you're tired of typical vacations and are looking for a more authentic experience by exploring the landscapes and meeting the locals on your vacation, then this is your podcast!

All adventures will be doable for someone reasonably fit (I'm a 58 year old woman and I have to be able to do them).

Be sure to visit activetraveladventures.com to see photos and get more details, plus you can download the FREE Travel Planners for each destination!  These handy summaries summarize the tips and provide all sorts of helpful links to help you plan your trip.  You get them automatically if you subscribe to the newsletter.

Antarctica Expedition including the Falkland and South Georgia Islands Part II

Best trip EVER!  In Part I, we sailed to the Falklands and the South Georgia Islands.  In today's show, we finally reach Antarctica, and the beauty and magic of what I see brings tears of joy to my eyes.

In addition to all of the amazing glaciers and sculptural icebergs we see, we see hundreds of thousands of penguins of several breeds.  We see whales - and we weren't even there during 'whale' season!

We get to hike around the penguins, kayak around the icebergs and experience this polar wonderland  in ways I will never forget.

Learn what its like to go on an expedition ship (I went on Hurtigruten's MS Fram).  You'll learn what its like each day, who goes on these expeditions, what you eat and so much more.

I was blown away and can't wait to share it with you!
