They also finally figured out who Ruby is; If you’ve been to Bryce, you know who we’re talking about.

S10:E3 – Everything about Zion National Park is extreme, which is right up Hilarie’s alley. But the Angel’s Landing hike was on another level. Every step was heart-stopping. Worth repeating? Not sure. 

Then there’s a canyon valley trail called The Narrows, where hundreds of people hike with their feet submerged in the cold water of a river. And it becomes even more thrilling when you consider that summer storms from miles away can bring devastating flash floods – with nowhere for hikers to turn.

Sustainable, Eco-Tourism in Costa Rica - What does it mean? with Bary Roberts. EP22 of the Costa Rica Travel & Living Podcast.

In this weeks episode Adam got to sit down with the 'Grandfather of Eco-Tourism' Bary Roberts. Bary coined the phrase Eco Tourism back in the late 70's working on a tourism campaign for Costa Rica, and since then it has become a standard work in the tourism lexicon world wide. 

But what are the biggest challenges Eco Tourism and sustainable tourism face moving forward with the vast amount of 'Green-washing' that takes place and what is the different between the two? How does 'regenerative tourism' fit in? 

Bary discusses all this and more in an intriguing conversation that we are sure you are going to enjoy!

S10:E4 – Arizona is beautiful, but it might not be the best place to bring your Airstream during the summer, as we found out the minute we arrived to Lake Powell. Airstreams are basically a tin can, soaking up heat in the sun, and this part of the world doesn’t offer much in the way of tree coverage. But the views of Horseshoe Bend were spectacular, and even easier to access than we expected. 

For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S10:E4 Horseshoe Bend + Lake Powell | Beating the Heat in Our Airstream) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/V4V3_dJmtLU).
