    EP-240 SLOW TRAVEL, DEEP CONNECTIONS: Hiking Europe with Cassandra Overby

    In this episode of the 10Adventures podcast, we are joined by Cassandra Overby, writer, traveler, and author of Home Base Hiking Europe. Cassandra challenges the traditional “see everything” approach to travel and introduces a more meaningful, grounded model: choosing a single village or valley as your base and exploring through daily hikes. Cassandra shares how her philosophy of slow travel grew out of a “travel breakup” in her twenties and evolved into a new way of moving through Europe — one that prioritizes connection, culture, and authentic local life. She explains why small villages offer richer experiences than tourist hotspots and how travelers can blend hiking, culture, food, and community simply by slowing down. From the Dolomites to the Somme, the Piedmont to Provence, Cassandra walks through some of her favorite home-base regions across Europe — and the unique stories, landscapes, and local interactions that make them come alive. This episode is full of practical insights and deep reflections on how to travel better, notice more, and build real connections along the way.     👉 To find Cassandra's latest book, visit: https://exploreonfoot.com/home-base-hiking-europe/ 👉 To learn more, visit: https://exploreonfoot.com/   About Us 🌍     10Adventures 🌟 was founded with one goal in mind: to make active travel accessible, promoting mental and physical well-being. 🚶‍♀️🚴 Our mission is to eliminate the stress of holiday planning, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your journey.

    EP-239 EXPLORING OREGON: 100 Classic Hikes in Oregon with Eli Boschetto

    Oregon might just be one of the most diverse hiking destinations in the United States — but where do you even start? In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, Richard talks with Eli Boschetto, the author of 100 Classic Hikes in Oregon (2nd Edition). Eli has spent years exploring every corner of the state, from the coastal headlands to the Cascade peaks and the deserts of Eastern Oregon. They delve into what makes Oregon such a special hiking destination, how to plan a trip through its diverse regions, and which lesser-known trails are worth exploring.

    EP-238 LIFE OFF THE GRID: Surviving and Thriving in Canada’s Wild North

    What drives someone to spend weeks alone in Canada’s most remote wilderness — filming every moment? In this episode, Richard talks with Maxim Budnick, the outdoorsman and filmmaker behind the popular YouTube channel. His videos capture breathtaking expeditions through some of the most untouched landscapes in Canada, from -30°C winter camps to multi-week canoe trips across the Northwest Territories. Maxim shares how his lifelong love of nature turned into a full-time passion for adventure filmmaking. They discuss bushcraft, survival, and the meditative power of wilderness solitude. Maxim also opens up about what it’s like to create content far from civilization — balancing the joy of adventure with the challenges of carrying camera gear, extreme weather, and total isolation. This conversation is a deep dive into the beauty of nature, the simplicity of canoe travel, and what it really means to connect with the wild.   👉 To learn more, visit: https://www.youtube.com/@maximbudnick https://www.instagram.com/maximbudnick/?hl=en   About Us 🌍     10Adventures 🌟 was founded with one goal in mind: to make active travel accessible, promoting mental and physical well-being. 🚶‍♀️🚴 Our mission is to eliminate the stress of holiday planning, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your journey.

    EP-236 THE CYCLE OF KINDNESS: Nathaniel Allenby’s Epic Ride

    What would it look like to explore Europe with nothing but a bike, a few friends, and complete trust in human kindness? In this week’s episode, we chat with Nathaniel Allenby, author of Cycle of Kindness, which chronicles the first leg of his six-year, 28,000-mile cycling journey across ten countries. The twist? Nathaniel did it almost entirely without money, relying on the generosity of strangers, dumpster diving, and the spirit of community to make it from Amsterdam to the edges of Europe. They discuss what it’s like to live fully outside of society’s norms, the lessons learned from minimalist travel, and how uncertainty can become a pathway to resilience and human connection. Nathaniel also reflects on how this journey — part physical challenge, part social experiment — reshaped his worldview and inspired a deeper belief in people’s inherent kindness. 👉 To learn more, visit: Cirque Quirk https://cirquequirk.com/ https://linktr.ee/CirqueQuirk The Cycle of Kindness           https://linktr.ee/TheCycleOfKindness   Allenby Art https://allenbyart.myshopify.com/ https://www.instagram.com/allenbyart   About Us 🌍     10Adventures 🌟 was founded with one goal in mind: to make active travel accessible, promoting mental and physical well-being. 🚶‍♀️🚴 Our mission is to eliminate the stress of holiday planning, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your journey.

In this fascinating episode, Richard is joined by Eva Schubert, host of the Villains and Virgins Podcast, to explore the real history of the Camino de Santiago.

    EP-233 RUNNING AROUND THE WORLD WITH MARIE LEAUTEY: 700 Marathons, 1 Dream

    What does it take to run around the entire world? In this episode, Richard sits down with Marie Leautey, a French ultra-endurance runner who became the fastest woman — and only the second woman in history — to complete a run around the Earth.
