info_outlineWhat is a Walking holiday?
A walking holiday is one where you walk, usually from one village to another via beautiful countryside, have lodging at the end of the day, often you have luggage transfer so you don't have to backpack and thus just carry a daypack. In short, a walking holiday allows you to truly see the destination at a slow pace so that you can really understand the people and culture you encounter on your travels. It's a wonderful way to explore and have an authentic adventure!
In today's episode we cover the six benefits of taking a walking holiday, plus the six decisions you need to make, including: how to choose a destination, pace, when to go, how long to go, what to pack and we discuss training for your hike.
See the SHOW NOTES for complete details, photos and a list of some recommended holiday walks!
