   EP-246 A LIFE OF CURIOSITY: From Remote Mountains to Inner Exploration

   What does a life driven by curiosity really look like? In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Martyn Williams, whose extraordinary journey spans remote mountain ranges, Antarctica expeditions, teaching in the Yukon, and deep inner exploration through meditation and human potential work. Martin shares how early experiences walking the hills of Wales sparked a lifelong connection to nature, how curiosity led him into some of the most extreme environments on Earth, and why inner exploration ultimately became just as important as physical adventure. From pioneering expeditions to the South Pole and across Antarctica, to mentoring troubled youth through nature-based learning, to living and training in an Indian ashram, this conversation explores what happens when you keep asking, “What’s next?” This is a wide-ranging, reflective episode about adventure, resilience, simplicity, and learning how to live with less fear — and more meaning. Whether you’re an adventurer, a creative, or someone searching for a calmer and more intentional way of living, this episode offers powerful insights into human potential and the art of exploration — both outer and inner. 🎙️ Listen now and be inspired to ask better questions, take small steps, and follow your curiosity 👉 To learn more, visit: https://martynwilliams.ca/ Check out our 10Adventures survey: https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/YMBBrI 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-245 WHICH CAMINO IS RIGHT FOR YOU? A Complete Guide to Europe’s Most Iconic Walks

   The Camino de Santiago is often described as a walk—but for many, it becomes something much more. In this episode, Richard is joined by Nadine from 10Adventures to unpack what makes the Camino so special, why people return to it again and again, and how to choose the right Camino route for your interests, schedule, and walking style. Rather than focusing on just one path, this conversation explores the many Caminos across Spain, Portugal, and France, including well-known routes like the Camino Francés and Portuguese Way, as well as quieter alternatives such as the Camino Inglés, Primitivo, Invierno, Finisterre, and the Le Puy Camino in France. They also dive into what it’s really like to walk the Camino day to day—covering terrain, accommodations, food, luggage transfers, and the unique social energy that emerges when people disconnect from everyday life and walk together. Whether you’re drawn to the Camino for reflection, adventure, culture, or simply great walking through beautiful villages, this episode will help you understand why the Camino resonates so deeply—and how to make it work for you.

   EP-244 KAYAK THE MANGOKY: Adventure, Danger & Discovery in Madagascar

   In this episode, we are joined by Oscar Scafidi, a Guinness World Record–holding adventurer, author, and expert on some of the most remote regions of Africa. Oscar recently released his new book, Kayak the Mangoky, which chronicles his expedition to paddle the length of Madagascar’s longest river. Oscar shares how a “random” decision to take a teaching job in Sudan changed the entire direction of his life, sparking a 20-year journey living, working, and traveling across 35 African countries. He opens up about misconceptions that keep travelers away from places like Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Madagascar — and why those stereotypes are outdated and unfair. Oscar also tells the full story behind the Mangoky expedition: navigating bureaucratic obstacles, trekking through remote mountain ranges, facing immense portages due to rapids and croc-filled canyons, and hiking for nine days without water resupply. With satellite maps from the 1980s, confusing tributaries, and no agreed-upon “official” river source, finding where to start the expedition was an adventure in itself. Through this intense journey, Oscar reflects on resilience, teamwork, risk, and why community support — not macho heroics — is what makes expeditions succeed. The episode also highlights Oscar’s charity work supporting Malagasy children in rural education. 👉 To learn more, visit: https://kayakthemangoky.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlVlWQcZlA8 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.
