Kit interviews Tracy Pawelski, author of One Woman's Camino and her recently released One Woman in the Himalayas, about her Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.

Not everything went as planned. We discuss her trials and tribulations, and how adventure travel in general often goes awry, but that's ok. The best travel stories come from the unexpected.

We learn about the Annapurna Circuit, and hear Tracy's story about how she got into long distance hiking when she walked the El Camino del Santiago in Spain with her daughter, followed by Scotland's West Highland Way with her husband.

See photos and the complete SHOW NOTES here.

Hike the Camino de Costa Rica!

Part II: The Logistics

Costa Rica has a new long distance trail that runs from the Caribbean (Atlantic) to the Pacific Ocean. This 16 day, 280 km/175 mi trail takes you through five ecosystems and more than a dozen rural villages not seen by most tourists.

In fact, the Costa Rica Camino is helping these locals afford to stay in their beloved home towns because they are feeding and housing the thru hikers, and even starting new businesses with optional excursions and classes! It's a "Win-Win" for hikers AND locals!

But the trail is still new and the infrastructure is just being fleshed out. On today's show (Part I of a two part series), we learn what we will see and experience. In Part I, we learn about the trail itself...what you see and do.

You can see photos, download Part I, and get complete details on the SHOW NOTE HERE.

Hike and Snorkel Adventures in the Galapagos Islands: Part II

Learn all about visiting the Galapagos Islands and where to hike and snorkel. We discuss what you can see and do, and in particular, we also talk about whether you should visit independently or go with an adventure tour company? We discuss the pros and cons of both options in this two part series.

Kit visits San Cristobal, Isabella and Santa Cruz islands to go on hikes in the highlands, and takes multiple day tours to outlying uninhabited islands to go snorkeling. Hear about the incredible wildlife and some of the history of this magical archipelago.

If you want to visit the Galapagos with an adventure tour company, Kit recommends her affiliate Active Adventures.
