Adventure Talks

Imagine gliding through lavender fields in full bloom. Coasting down quiet country lanes lined with cypress trees. Pausing for a café crème in a sun-soaked village square.  This is Provence—not the version packed with tour buses, but the one only locals know. Provence is a cyclist’s dream. With its mix of rolling hills, vineyard-draped valleys, medieval hilltop villages, and quiet backroads, it’s made for slow, soulful exploration. Every turn reveals something postcard-perfect—stone farmhouses, sunflower fields, bustling markets, or maybe a winemaker waving hello.  The region’s rhythm invites travelers of all ages and stoke levels to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect—with the land, the people, and yourself. Whether you’re a casual rider or someone who hasn’t touched a bike in years, this is your chance to see why cycling is the ultimate way to explore Provence. You’ll get firsthand tips, fun stories, and insider knowledge from Adrien Truwant—a French local, seasoned guide, and all-around great storyteller.

The Arctic is one of the last truly wild places on Earth—a realm of towering icebergs, vast glaciers, and wildlife thriving in extreme conditions.  Paddling through these waters puts you right in the heart of it all. Imagine gliding through silent fjords, weaving between sculpted ice, and watching a whale breach just meters away. It’s an adventure that few get to experience but one that stays with you forever. Both Greenland and Svalbard offer unparalleled kayaking opportunities, but they each have their own character. Greenland boasts colossal icebergs, rich Inuit culture, and remote wilderness camps. Svalbard, on the other hand, is home to dramatic pack ice, polar bears, and endless summer daylight.  But here’s the thing—kayaking in the Arctic isn’t as simple as booking a flight and renting a boat. The remoteness, extreme conditions, and logistical challenges make planning an independent expedition almost impossible.  This is why you should join our LIVE WEBINAR and get all the insider knowledge you need! In an hour-long session, seasoned Arctic kayak guide Toby Story will walk you through what it’s really like to paddle in these remote regions, how to prepare, and what you can expect.  Plus, you’ll get firsthand stories from the ice—the kind you won’t find in any brochure!

Camino de Santiago is a sprawling 800-kilometer trail network that winds across the Iberian Peninsula, culminating at the sanctuary of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Once traveled by kings and conquerors, then by pious pilgrims, it’s now revered by trekkers as one of the finest thru-hikes in Western Europe. Every year, over 300,000 “peregrinos” tackle the 1,200-year-old trek on one of seven different routes. Some take to the coastal cliffs and vibrant villages of Northern Spain, others follow historic Roman vias and Moorish monuments, while others traverse the beaches and hills of Portugal. The network is a convoluted one, and untangling it alone feels like a leap of faith. Don’t leave anything up to chance. Check out our webinar on hiking the Camino de Santiago and learn everything you need to know—the ins and outs of all the different routes, how to choose the right one for you, what to expect, and how to prepare for the adventure ahead. If you want to walk the paths of the pilgrims—and do it the right way—don’t miss out on this gift from the heavens!
