Today on Episode 496 I'm talking with Mattias Jansson from the National Pilgrim Center in Trondheim, Norway. I recently had the opportunity to hike the Pilgrim Path along Olav's Way, and if you get the chance, do it. Not only is the walk beautiful, but the history is quite interesting as well.

From the John Muir Trail to the PCT, I thought I had a pretty solid handle on what makes an adventure worthwhile. But then I found myself in Norway, walking the Pilgrim Path to Nidaros Cathedral, and something shifted. It wasn't just the landscapes—though, let me tell you, those were next level. One day, we were trekking through misty mountains. The next, we were passing through sleepy villages, exchanging nods with locals who've seen hikers like us for centuries. And then there was that one wild day—the rain poured, the wind howled, and instead of hurrying through it, we stopped to make coffee by a quiet pond. No rush, no race, just being in the moment. That's when it hit me: This wasn't just a hike. It was something deeper. Something that had been calling to people for over a thousand years. It made me wonder: Why do we chase adventure? What are we really searching for? Principle Here's the truth: Many people think adventure is about ticking off trails, collecting miles, or conquering nature. But the best adventures? They change you. A pilgrimage isn't just about getting from point A to B. It's about stripping away the layers of everyday life—the distractions, the to-do lists, the noise—until all that's left is you, the trail, and whatever you're meant to discover along the way. Transition Many people don't realize it, but they're searching for more than just adventure. They're searching for meaning. And yet, so many never find it—not because they're not looking, but because they don't know where to look. And … That's Why… That's why, in this episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, we sat down with Mattias Jansson, a modern-day guide of these ancient trails. We talk about the Viking roots of the Pilgrim Path, the deep connection between adventure and self-discovery, and why people from all over the world are drawn to this experience today. Call to Action If you've ever felt stuck—like your adventures aren't quite scratching that itch anymore—this episode is for you. Because adventure isn't just about new places. It's about new perspectives.

This episode's guest is Ellen Falterman, also known as Ellen Magellen. I can’t quite describe who she is in this short intro, but I’ll try, and hopefully I’ll do her some justice. I guess I would call her an expeditionist. Ellen embarks on multi-month expeditions. The most recent of which involved paddling a canoe over 2,000 miles. She is a true adventure traveller, and every experience leads her to dream bigger. In this episode, we talk a lot about her expeditions, we chat about the loss of a family member and how it spurred her to set off on a solo adventure, and we discuss the next big expedition she has in the works. Ellen drops some knowledge bombs throughout this episode as well. Trust me when I say you don’t want to miss out on the 3 D’s.Follow EllenInstagram: @ellenmagellenexpeditionsWebsite: EllenMagellenExpeditions.comSmall Business Shout-outKate George - illustrator & surface pattern designer.Instagram: @kategeorgepnwWebsite: KateGeorgePNW.comLike what you hear?

"Wrangell is often referred to as the Park without handrails."   Brendon Seaholser was such an interesting interview because of his honest and blunt demeanor, as well as his love of the park and adventures of all kind.    During this interview, we talk about what brought him to Wrangell St. Elias, one of the month desolate and isolated parks in the country, a story which starts in Vermont, and winds through many continents. We also talk about how unbelievably vast the Park is, and the possible consequences of going into this wilderness unprepared.    You’ll hear him talk about the stories of going into the wild, about the dangers he’s witnessed, and the magic too, the unreal beauty of the largest Park in the country, and one of the largest pieces of wilderness in the world.    One of my favorite things about this interview is the awe that you can hear in Brendon’s voice as he talks about the Park and especially, the mountains.  You can hear how much love and respect he has for this place, and it made me feel it too.    When I walked out of the tiny one room visitor’s center where I’d met him, I felt a chill of excitement to be in such an incredible place. I felt so grateful to be witness to this Park that had created such awe in this man I’d had the pleasure of meeting.  It gave me a new way of looking at, and respecting, this unfamiliar place.    As you hear me mention in the interview, earlier that day, I’d had a few hiccups on the main road, namely ending up in a ditch, being towed out by strangers, then later having a flat tire, which I describe at the end of the interview. At the time, I’d questioned why I was even there, in the middle of this wild and overwhelming place, until this interview that made me so incredibly aware of how fortunate I was to be there and how precious this Park really is.    I really can’t wait to share this one with you!   Want to see more?

Jordan Harbinger talks to Jason Hartman about his experiences in North Korea and shares a little bit about what you can and can't get away with. There's a lot of bad press about North Korea and he says that if you really dig a little bit deeper, there isn't much to worry about. He encourages everyone to at least consider taking at tour there and learning for themselves what it really is like to be on another planet.    Key Takeaways: 4:10 – North Korea is incredibly safe, you won't get kidnapped, and it is actually a very interesting travel experience.  11:20 – It's about $2,000 to $3,000 total trip cost including plane, hotel, food, and more.  16:10 – There are certain things that the Koreans just won't let you bring into the country depending on the day. 17:45 – There are very few churches in North Korea and, according to Jordan, they don't really go to church.  22:00 – When you leave the country, you're left with a lot of thoughts and questions about the North Korean system and the people who live there, which is why it makes for a very interesting place to explore.    Mentioned In This Episode: http://www.howtogotonorthkorea.com/   http://theartofcharmpodcast.com/
