  1. #72 | Escaping to Solitude: My Solo Adventure to Channel Islands National Park

    #72 | Escaping to Solitude: My Solo Adventure to Channel Islands National Park

    On this episode I share my magical solo adventure of exploring Channel Islands National Park for the first time ever. It is California's most underrated island, one of the least visited national parks in the entire country, and is considered the Galapagos Islands of North America. Join me on this action packed day trip that included wildlife sightings, choppy boat rides, an epic 10 mile trek, and almost ended with me being stranded on the island. What made this trip even more special was that I did it spontaneously during my birthday week. ⁠ Support Just Trek on Patreon ⁠https://www.patreon.com/justtrek⁠ Shop Just Trek merch on ⁠https://www.justtrek.net/shop⁠ Listen to more podcast episodes on ⁠https://www.justtrek.net⁠ Want to send me a message?

    #69 | SoCal Hometown Heroes - Exclusive Recording from the 4 Year Anniversary Live Podcast Show feat. Karla Amador (52 Hike Challenge), Cris Hazzard (HikingGuy.com), & Anjelica Avella (Film "Forward)

    On this episode, I release the full recording from our second ever live podcast show. It was filmed at the Just Trek Podcast 4 Year Anniversary celebration on Sat, April 6th at the Happier Camper Outdoor Showroom + Happier Cafe here in Los Angeles. The guest panel featured SoCal Hometown Heroes such as Karla Amador (founder of @52hikechallenge), Cris Hazzard (creator of HikingGuy.com), Anjelica Avella (Lead Protagonist / Story Producer in the film “Forward”), and myself as the moderator. We chatted about each of their impactful work in the community, their most meaningful outdoor adventures / nature experiences, what the community each has cultivated has taught them, and the one must do experience that any outdoor enthusiast should at least do once.  After the group discussion, we opened up a live Q&A to the audience so that everyone could join in on the fun and ask the guests their own questions. The overall group panel talk was inspirational, impactful, informative, entertaining, and a blast of time. ________________________ Filmed at the Just Trek Podcast 4 Year Anniversary 4.6.24 Watch Youtube version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyo5fdGGj4Q We'd like to thank our sponsors: Cotopaxi - https://www.cotopaxi.com/ KEEN - https://www.keenfootwear.com/ 52 Hike Challenge - https://www.52hikechallenge.com/ Parch - https://drinkparch.com/ Juneshine - https://juneshine.com/ Easy Rider - https://drinkeasyrider.co/ Tony’s Chocolonely - https://tonyschocolonely.com/us/en Event was in partnership with Happier Camper, Happier Cafe, and Tada Coffee.  Use code “TADAATREK” on https://happiercamper.com/ for an exclusive upgrade to any camper purchase. With this code you receive and choose one of two options 1) Full-shell Gel Coat of any standard color (Mojave Sage, Palms Springs Yellow, Venice Breeze, Topanga Turquoise) valued at $1,500.00 or 2) $1,500.00 of Adaptiv Credit towards a custom made-to-order camper.
