Today, we're sharing a special episode honouring a true explorer who we lost last week. Dr. Jane Goodall was a pioneering primatologist, and conservationist best known for her groundbreaking work with wild chimpanzees in Tanzania. With no formal scientific training at the time, she began observing chimpanzees in 1960 and soon made discoveries that redefined our understanding of animals — including tool use, emotional depth, and complex social behavior. Over her lifetime, she became a global icon for wildlife conservation and animal welfare, and her work continues to inspire millions to protect the planet and live in harmony with nature. Unfortunately, we were never able to get Jane on the show – that would have been a dream come true! So, it's not an episode directly about her. But it does raise some themes that were inspired and borne from the work she did … and it does feature chimpanzees, as well as Mountain Gorillas, who as primates are our distant ancestors too. Today, we're going to follow Praveen Moman, one of the world's leading primate conservationists, into the Virunga Mountains of Rwanda in search of the critically endangered mountain gorilla, and to the Kyambura Gorge, in Uganda, in search of a lost troop of Chimpanzees. Seeing mountain gorillas, or chimpanzees in the wild is one of the rarest and most inspiring wildlife experiences on the planet. There is an immediate bond, a sense of connection. And what we'll discover is, when you look a mountain gorilla in the eye, you see yourself reflected back. Highlights include: - Trekking in the Virunga Mountains of Rwanda in search of the critically endangered mountain gorilla - Hearing what it feels like to sit quietly among the troop, as babies come curiously up to explore, and the 400lb male silverback brushes past - Walking into the Kyambura Gorge as the lost troop of Chimpanzees comes down from the canopy and surrounds you on all sides - Being inspired by Praveen's story, a refugee of Uganda who returned to his beloved homeland to help rebuild one of the most war-torn regions on the planet FIND OUT MORE Janegoodall.org volcanoessafaris.com gorillafund.org FOLLOW US: Instagram: @armchairexplorerpodcastFacebook: @armchairexplorerpodcastNewsletter: armchair-explorer.com PODCAST RECOMMENDATION Check out the Smart Travel Podcast: This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast.

The Kokoda Track Podcast: Your Questions Answered Are you preparing for the adventure of a lifetime on the Kokoda Track? In this informative episode, host Glenn Azar addresses three critical questions from a future trekker that many potential hikers wonder about but rarely ask. From the practical aspects of food and meal timing on the track to managing illness in the jungle and surviving the infamous "Chiropractor Express" truck ride, Glenn shares insights from his impressive 98 crossings of the Kokoda Track. This episode offers valuable preparation tips that go beyond physical training, helping you prepare mentally and practically for this life-changing journey. Timestamps and Key Takeaways: **1:15** - Food on the track: Glenn explains the 24-hour ration pack system that allows trekkers to graze throughout the day rather than having set meal times- Packs include a variety of foods: rolled oats, canned goods, noodles, snacks, and beverages- The grazing approach helps those who can't exercise on a full stomach **4:30** - Managing illness on the track: What happens when trekkers get sick?- Stomach issues are less common than expected due to sealed food packages and hygiene practices- When illness occurs, the group continues moving but at a slower pace- Proper hydration and basic medications usually resolve issues without major delays **6:15** - The "Chiropractor Express": Surviving the truck ride from Popondetta to Kokoda- Despite the bumpy ride, motion sickness is rarely an issue due to open-air seating with good airflow- The scenery and interaction with locals provide a welcome distraction- Front seating options available for those particularly concerned about motion sickness **9:45** - Glenn's invitation for listeners to submit their own questions and his commitment to keeping the Kokoda spirit alive Ready to take on this incredible journey? Glenn's expert advice will help you prepare properly and approach your trek with confidence. Listen now and take the first step toward your Kokoda adventure.

In this Tough Girl EXTRA episode, we catch up with Tiphaine Muller, the intrepid French adventurer who continues to push her boundaries through long-distance cycling and remote, high-altitude trekking. Now 31 and based in Chamonix, France, Tiphaine has spent the last decade traveling the world by bike, exploring five continents. Her latest journey saw her pedaling from the Alps to the Himalayas before tackling one of the toughest and most remote treks on earth: The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) in Nepal. This conversation picks up from where we left off in her first Tough Girl Podcast interview (November 2021) — where she shared her early adventures and passion for slow travel. This time, we dive deep into her 2024 journey: Cycling from France to Nepal through the Balkans, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and the Himalayas — all while managing extreme heat, border crossings, and a strict budget of €10/day. Hiking the Great Himalaya Trail solo (West to East), over 80 days, through towering 5,000m+ passes, remote villages, and ever-changing terrain — while battling physical exhaustion, route-finding issues, and high-altitude nutrition struggles. Tiphaine candidly shares: The logistics and challenges of arranging permits for restricted zones without a guide Her coping strategies for trekking alone in high mountains Cultural highlights from cycling through Turkey and Iran How she funds her travels and balances life back home as a social worker Her future goals — including film-making and another epic cycle across South America This episode is a deep, honest reflection on the highs and lows of big adventures and what it takes — mentally, physically, and emotionally — to keep moving forward when things don't go to plan. Don't miss this inspiring update from a woman who truly lives the spirit of adventure, one pedal stroke and step at a time.

Bhutan is the last of the great Himalayan kingdoms. Still largely untouched by outside influences, shrouded in mystery and magic, this Buddhist country, hidden for centuries on the roof of the world, is like nowhere else on the planet. Follow British Travel Writer of the Year Emma Thomson as she explores the culture and majesty of Druk Yul, Land of the Thunder Dragon, as it's known by its people. Shunning the usual group tour, Emma stays with local families miles from the tourist trail and discovers, because of that, a glimpse of the real Bhutan most travellers will never see. But this is more than just an adventure. Cut off from the rest of the world until 1974, and surrounded by virtually impenetrable Himalayan peaks on all sides, Bhutan has remained culturally intact for centuries. It is a real-life Shangri-La, a kind of fabled mythical kingdom hidden in the mountains, where spirituality and happiness are more important than money and economic development. Intrepid travellers whisper its name in hushed and reverent tones for a reason. Bhutan is, perhaps, the most enlightened country on Earth, and when we visit some of that wisdom and inspiration becomes a part of us too. Highlights include: • Staying with two local Bhutanese families in remote rural villages, far off the usual tourist trail • Experiencing real Bhutanese daily life: tending the fields, bathing in hot stone baths and helping to prepare the meals - fresh dumplings, curries, chillies and cheese • Exploring Punaka Dzong, the most beautiful of all of Bhutan's fortress temples • Trekking to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, which clings to the face of a sheer cliff and is the holiest site in the country • Visiting Bhutan's head of astrology, which is usually forbidden to tourists and discovering a surprise message there that might just shake your scepticism. • Be inspired by the peace and serenity of the most enlightened country on Earth, and learn how to take that wisdom and stillness into your own life too CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST Instagram: @emmathomsontravels Learn more about your ad choices.

În acest episod al podcastului IGDLCC, îl am invitat pe Andrei Voicu, cunoscut și ca Piratul, unul dintre cei mai tari ghizi montani pe care i-am întâlnit. Am vorbit despre cum să transformi o simplă vacanță într-o experiență de neuitat și de ce muntele e mai mult decât un simplu loc de explorare, ajutându-te să te redescoperi pe tine însuți. Andrei ne-a dezvăluit secretele mersului cu bețele de trekking și ne-a explicat cum poziția corpului te ajută să mergi cu 30% mai mult, fără să te epuizezi. Am analizat de ce o bună parte din cei care ajung pe vârfuri sunt oameni bine pregătiți, nu doar motivați, și am discutat despre cealaltă față a monedei, când ambiția depășește limita. E super mișto că tot mai mulți oameni de la oraș caută adrenalina, iar femeile, în special, au început să iasă împreună pe trasee montane. În final, am vorbit despre echipamentul potrivit și am recomandat surse de încredere, cum ar fi magazinul Montrec de la Andrei Voicu, care oferă consultanță pentru alegerea sacului de dormit, a cortului și a rucsacului, în funcție de aventură. Sper ca, după ce asculți acest episod, să ai curaj să explorezi și tu cu rucsacul în spate! IGDLCC înseamnă Informații Gratis despre Lucruri care Costă! Totul ne costă dar mai ales timpul așa că am făcut această serie pentru a mă informa și educa alături de invitați din domeniile mele de interes. Te invit alături de mine în această călătorie. Mi-am propus să mă facă mai informat și mai adaptat la schimbările care vin. Sper să o facă și pentru tine.

¡¡Bienvenid@s a Mochileros!! Ya estamos de vuelta con un nuevo programa y una nueva temporada y empezamos con la novenaaaa!!! Volvemos a Sierra Nevada, a su parte más oriental en compañía de José Mª Requena para acometer toda su cuerda de "tresmiles" hasta la cima de La Atalaya (o El Cuervo, dependiendo de la cartografía que se utilice),con quien aprenderemos muchas cosas de esta zona...localizaciones, surgencias de agua, diferencias en la nomenclatura de algunas cumbres... Todo ello sin olvidar que será una actividad exigente de varios días, de muchos kilómetros y también muchos metros de desnivel tanto positivos como negativos, para resarcirnos un poco de la retirada del mes de abril, en la que tuvimos que volver con el rabo entre las piernas.

Wie bringt man Menschen dazu, ihr Mobilitätsverhalten wirklich zu ändern? Eva Weber und Dr. Jutta Deffner berichten von ihrem Forschungsprojekt, das ein praxistaugliches Playbook hervorgebracht hat: ein Werkzeugkasten für alle, die Mobilität neu denken wollen. Mit vielen Aha-Momenten, Kritik am Deutschlandticket – und Mutmachgeschichten. Beide haben gemeinsam ein interdisziplinäres und praxisnahes Forschungsprojekt durchgeführt, das untersuchte, was Kommunikation zur Verhaltensänderung beitragen kann. Es entstand ein Playbook, das frei zugänglich für alle Interessierten ist. Von Routinen, Widerständen und Aha-Momenten Jutta erklärt, warum Routinen so mächtig sind und weshalb ein Bewusstsein für Probleme noch lange nicht bedeutet, dass Menschen ihr Verhalten ändern. Sie beschreibt, wie Infrastruktur, Kompetenzen und Motivation zusammenspielen müssen – und warum Kommunikation dabei nicht nachträglich, sondern von Anfang an Teil des Veränderungsprozesses sein sollte. Eva bringt die Perspektive aus der Praxis ein. Sie schildert, wie emotional das Thema Parkraum in Städten verhandelt wird („Parkraum ist das emotionalste Thema, das mir in der Arbeit begegnet“), wie groß die Angst von Verwaltungen und Politik vor Widerständen ist – und wie entscheidend es ist, die Veränderungsbereitschaft der Zielgruppen wirklich zu verstehen. Ein Satz, den sie im Projekt immer wieder gehört hat: „Das haben wir ja noch nie so gemacht.“ Das Playbook – ein Werkzeugkasten für die Verkehrswende Aus der Zusammenarbeit von Kommunikationsprofis, Sozialwissenschaft, Umweltpsychologie und Praxispartnern ist ein Framework entstanden, das Schritt für Schritt zeigt, wie man Kommunikation für Verhaltensänderungen gestaltet: Zielgruppen identifizieren Veränderungsziel schärfen Maßnahmen entwickeln Wirksamkeit evaluieren Klingt selbstverständlich – doch die vielen Aha-Momente der beteiligten Verkehrsverbünde, Städte und weitere Praxispartner*innen und Verwaltungen?zeigen, wie neu dieser Blick auf Zielgruppen und Evaluation oft noch ist. Deutschlandticket, Evaluation & die Frage nach Wirkung Natürlich sprechen wir auch über aktuelle Beispiele wie das Deutschlandticket. Jutta lobt die Chance, neue Routinen zu schaffen, warnt aber: „Die Unsicherheit, ob es bleibt, ist kontraproduktiv.“ Eva ergänzt, dass Evaluation in vielen Organisationen noch ein Stiefkind ist: „Lieber investiert man in Plakate als in begleitende Evaluation – aber genau die entscheidet über nachhaltige Wirkung.“ Ein Gespräch, das Mut macht Diese Folge zeigt, wie Forschung und Praxis voneinander lernen können, wie wichtig Kommunikation für die Verkehrswende ist – und dass Veränderung tatsächlich möglich ist. Eva verrät am Ende: „Ich habe während des Projekts gelernt, Fahrrad statt Auto zu fahren. Es ist möglich!“ Das Playbook steht frei zum Download bereit – und meine Gäste laden ausdrücklich dazu ein, damit zu arbeiten. ----------------------------------- Der heutige Partner für diese Folge ist m-way.

Andrew just got back from four days of gorilla trekking in Uganda's Bwindi forest, and he's breaking down what it's really like getting close to mountain gorillas. From a three-week-old baby born with tourists watching to 400-pound silverbacks walking past you like you're not even there.He covers the reality vs expectations, why a 70-200mm lens is essential, how the guides prioritize gorilla welfare over perfect shots, and that crucial moment when you need to put the camera down and just experience it. Plus insights from spending time with the Batwa people and learning local culture.If gorilla trekking is on your bucket list, this is what you need to know before you go.Visit the Wild Eye website here: https://wild-eye.com/travel-expriences/uganda-travel-inspiration/

¡¡Bienvenid@s a Mochileros!! Ya estamos de vuelta con un nuevo programa para poder seguir y concluir con esta aventura africana. Aventura que empezamos a compartir con Ángel, Paquito y Fran en el programa anterior, y que tal y como veis en la foto de la miniatura (ohhhh spoiler!!), consiguieron hacer cumbre todos ellos, pero de formas muy diferentes, pero eso si, todos a una como equipo y como grupo, que fue una de las claves que a la postre hizo que tuviesen éxito en su aventura. Eso si, la cumbre costó lo suyo porque llegar a casi 6000m no es un regalo precisamente, pero por si eso fuese poco, después tendrían que descender casi 3000m hasta poder llegar al final de su día de cumbre.

The vast beauty of America's national parks beckons throughout the seasons, but knowing exactly when to visit each one can transform a good trip into an unforgettable adventure. In this captivating episode, we welcome extraordinary globetrotter Jennifer Broome, who recently conquered Mount Kilimanjaro's 19,341-foot summit and has visited over 250 National Park Service units across the country.Jennifer unveils the hidden treasures of springtime park visits, starting with Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park, where a rare "surge flow" phenomenon creates backward-flowing ripples in Medano Creek during May and early June. She transports us to Dry Tortugas National Park, 70 miles off Key West, where seaplane rides offer glimpses of marine life en route to Fort Jefferson—the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere.Our journey continues through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park's Chain of Craters Road, where visitors can experience everything from active volcanic landscapes to ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs along the jagged coastline. Jennifer also shares her unforgettable solo hike through California's lesser-known Pinnacles National Park, where she witnessed endangered California condors soaring overhead—a magical moment made possible by visiting during the quieter spring season.Beyond these destinations, Jennifer offers practical wisdom for maximizing spring park visits: avoid spring break crowds, consider weekday visits, pack appropriate layers for unpredictable weather, and don't miss Utah's "Mighty Five" parks in April when conditions are ideal. Her stories remind us that our national parks offer not just scenery, but moments of profound connection with nature that can only be experienced firsthand.Whether you're planning your next outdoor adventure or simply dreaming of America's natural wonders, this episode provides the perfect guide to experiencing our national parks at their springtime best.

The Trans Bhutan Trail is more than just a hiking path; it is a rich historical and cultural corridor that connects the heart of Bhutan. This trail, which spans 250 miles from Ha in the west to Trashigang in the east, has been recently restored after being abandoned for decades. Originally a vital route for monks, traders, and royal messengers, the trail offers a unique opportunity to walk through stunning landscapes while experiencing the deep traditions of Bhutanese culture. As we explore this extraordinary trek, we will discuss its significance and the wildlife that can be encountered along the way, including the elusive clouded leopard and the charming red panda. Join writer Chin Liang Teh as we delve into the journey of revitalizing this sacred path, guided by insights from Dorji Draj, former Director General of Bhutan's Tourism Council.Chin Liang TehTeh Chin Liang is a long-time travel journal contributor to Dave's Travel Corner and Global Travel Insider. Besides travel journals, he loves writing prose and poetry. When he is not writing, he enjoys reading and traveling to get inspiration for his writing. He lives in Penang, Malaysia, a scenic island city that is also a UNESCO heritage site.
What is a Walking holiday? A walking holiday is one where you walk, usually from one village to another via beautiful countryside, have lodging at the end of the day, often you have luggage transfer so you don't have to backpack and thus just carry a daypack. In short, a walking holiday allows you to truly see the destination at a slow pace so that you can really understand the people and culture you encounter on your travels. It's a wonderful way to explore and have an authentic adventure! In today's episode we cover the six benefits of taking a walking holiday, plus the six decisions you need to make, including: how to choose a destination, pace, when to go, how long to go, what to pack and we discuss training for your hike. See the SHOW NOTES for complete details, photos and a list of some recommended holiday walks!

Trekking with Stone Age equipment through snow and icy winds in Sweden last February, Markus Klek - a self-proclaimed 'north nerd' - discovered that nature is a factor that can only be ignored at one's own peril. Nevertheless, this challenging experience offered him another opportunity to test his tools and equipment and find out how they can be tweaked to better withstand the elements on future trips. Jess Shaw is your host.Exciting news! Markus' plans for a new experiential prehistory event this winter are getting concrete and this time a small number of participants can take part. Read more about Markus' Nordic Winter Camp that will take place in February 2026.-> Also interesting: in 2024 Matilda Siebrecht chatted with Markus about his earlier experiences: Nordic Walkabout: Q&A beforehand and Nordic Walkabout: Follow-up discussion.Support the show
¡¡Bienvenid@s a Mochileros!! Ya estamos de vuelta con un nuevo programa para aventurarnos, en esta ocasión, al corazón de África. Volvemos al Kilimanjaro para acompañar a Ángel, Paquito y Fran en su aventura de conseguir ascender al techo del continente Africano teniendo en cuenta que esa aventura se la plantearon como un reto personal, ya que su bagaje con el mundo del montañismo, hasta ahora, no era especialmente grande, aunque lo que si atesoraban era una profunda relación con el mundo del ciclismo profesional, ya que todos ellos forman parte del equipo Team Polti Visit Malta. Lo que no les faltaba, desde luego era la ilusión y la determinación de ser capaces de hollar la cumbre de la preciada montaña tanzana que se iba a convertir en su Goliat particular mientras ellos se disponían a fabricar su particular honda a base de compañerismo, esfuerzo y absoluta tenacidad!!

Send us a text#341 - One of the ways European Ultraraces are so different from American ones is that you'll see many more races use trekking poles in Europe. They know that these skinny sticks can help them in their races. This week, it's all about trekking poles and why you might want to use them! I help you differentiate between the types, how to see if they fit and most importantly, how to use. Trekking poles might be the missing puzzle piece you've been looking for!

'There was a time when I couldn't walk down the King's Road without being mobbed,' chuckles Levison Wood. This is no brag, though: it's said with the bemusement of a man who was catapulted to fame after his plan to trek the length of the River Nile made him into an unlikely celebrity alongside today's crop of modern explorers.• Listen to Country Life podcast on Apple Podcasts• Listen to Country Life podcast on Spotify• Listen to Country Life podcast on AudibleWe're delighted that Levison joined James Fisher on the Country Life Podcast this week, to talk about how his early life roaming Staffordshire morphed — via a stint in the Paras regiment — into a career trekking the world, from the jungles of South America to the freezing mountains of the Himalayas. His books and documentaries — one of which became the most-watched factual TV programme in Britain in 2015 — have made him a hugely well-recognised face, and he tells the tale of how his thirst for adventure, and his fascination with connecting with people around the world, brought him to where he is today.That fascination with people also underlies his latest book, The Great Tree Story. He happily admits that he's no botanist, and couldn't tell one species of tree from another: instead, this is a tale of how the lives of people have intertwined with the trees around them for millennia. Take the yew trees that dot churchyards around Britain, for example: they weren't planted after the ancient churches were built; instead, the churches were built at the sacred spots where the oldest trees stood proud. It's a fascinating listen; you can find out more about The Great Tree Story here.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Levison WoodEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

¡¡Bienvenid@s a Mochileros!! Ya estamos de vuelta con un nuevo programa para adentrarnos en lo más profundo de la evolución de un alpinista en la montaña, en lo más personal que alguien puede hacer para si mismo cuando se calza unas botas y unos crampones, lo más intimo de cada uno de nosotros cuando nos ha sorprendido un temporal que no estaba previsto...hoy nos adentraremos en el alma de Jesús Zayas Porque hablar con Jesús, ya os percataréis de ello, es hacerlo a pecho descubierto, sin medias tintas ni tampoco nimiedades. Y dejando a las claras que disfrutar de la montaña es toda una filosofía de vida que se lleva en la mochila para bien o para mal, pero por encima de todo, para crecer como persona, como amigo y como alpinista.

TakeawaysStart where you are, use what you have: David began his journey with a shovel, a paper route, and sheer determination.Build your team like it's family: In tough times, transparency and trust brought David's team closer—and ultimately fueled a massive rebound.Master one thing, then test another: His business philosophy? Don't chase 10,000 shiny objects—double down on the few that actually work, and always test new ones monthly.AI isn't the future—it's the now: David's latest venture creates branded AI agents that help companies scale faster and smarter.Life beyond business: Success isn't just revenue—David's next big win?
