European Self-Guided Walking Holidays
Spend your vacation WALKING some of the best trails in Europe! Most are fairly easy for any fit person. You walk from village to village on historic paths in some of Europe's most scenic regions. Best of all: your luggage gets transported to your next lodging so all you have to do is walk and enjoy yourself!
Learn all about European self-guided (some are guided) walking holidays on today's show.
I interview Margaret, who has done many such hikes and we learn all about this exciting and affordable way to travel. I find walking holidays offer a more authentic cultural experience because you become PART of the landscape and the local's you chat with's life that day.

Customer Reviews
Great storytelling
I just discovered this podcast and have been really enjoying it. I find Kit is a great storyteller, especially when sharing stories about her own hiking and travels. The Galapagos episode is a favourite so far. It really inspired me to visit there myself one day!
One of my favourite podcasts!
I love following Kit on her adventures! I particularly like hearing about her own travels and how she prepares for them. Kit’s voice is pleasant and she is articulate but plain spoken and casual. It’s like hearing a friend tell me about her adventures. I can’t wait to hear more!
