Renata is a legendary Czech-born adventurer and mountaineer. She was the first Swedish and Czech woman to climb Mount Everest and was listed in Outside Magazine as one of the world’s “25 adventure goddesses." In 2005, after the death of her partner, Göran Kropp (also a well-known adventurer), she embarked on what she calls the "Around America Adventure". She would circumnavigate the lower 48 US states by bike and kayak. When biking, she would pull her kayak behind her with a set of two wheels and while kayaking, she would ship her bike ahead of her at the next portion of the trip.  She started in Seattle and paddled to San Diego, bicycled San Diego to Brownsville, Texas, continued kayaking around Florida to Eastport, Maine, and then bicycled back to Seattle across the northern portion of the US. Through this experience she became the first person to circumnavigate the US this way. This is a wild, unique, and beautiful story of what a true adventure really means.

Originally aired on February 01, 2019When Caleb sold his previous business, Bearded Brothers, his wife, Kristy, had the crazy idea of being debt-free and living in an RV full-time. Everyone around them thought they were nuts! Nearly 4 years into their journey, a lot of the people who called them crazy are now jealous of their freedom, lack of “stuff”, and ability to go where the wind takes them.  Caleb and Kristy are both small business owners who are able to operate their businesses out of the compact dwelling space. They have no end to their adventure in sight but admit that RV living with three kids and running businesses absolutely has its unique challenges, but it’s a tradeoff compared with a normal route in life.Caleb is also an avid ultrarunner, taking the home and family to races all over the country. Instead of having to go to a stale hotel room after a long race, he can walk right into his house.  Pretty cool!https://www.instagram.com/freedomintow/https://www.instagram.com/hemp_daddys/?hl=enhttps://hempdaddys.com/http://www.freedomintow.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mountain town lady, Victoria Jarosh, better known as Tori, found herself at a Buddhist monastery in 2021. Tori is a busy-body and adventurer, so the art of doing nothing at the temple came difficult.This is when she realized that if she succeeds in doing NOTHING during her 5 days there, it is still an accomplishment because it was accompanied with challenge. Tori believes that celebrating successes we encounter in everyday life is important. This could range from running 240 miles to fixing your bike on your own. So, she started the narrative style podcast series called No Handlebars: Stories of Everyday Success for a Better Life.Learn more about Tori and her podcast at toritells.com or instagram: @nohandlebars_podcastGet 15% off your first order of Gnarly Nutrition by using the code gnarlyadventure15 at gognarly.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
