The Traveling Twin Podcast

Since this season is all about bucket list adventures, I figured I would probably be doing you all a disservice if I didn't have an episode featuring Alaska and a few once-in-a-lifetime activities visitors can experience there. I mean, the amount of times I've heard, "My top bucketlist item is to visit Alaska" alone made this episode happen. So today I got the pleasure of having on Mandy Garcia from Salmon Berry Travel & Tours, a tour company in Anchorage, Alaska that gives guests the opportunity to experience dog sledding, glacier hiking, view the Northern lights, and more. If you're an Alaska fan or you're dying to go at some point in your life, then this episode is for you!

Join us as Hannah Snyman from White Shark Projects takes us on a dive into the world of great white sharks in Gansbaai, the great white shark capital of the world. Discover the exhilarating experience of cage diving, debunk common shark myths, and learn about the conservation efforts that help protect these big fish. This episode is a deep dive into the adrenaline-pumping waters of South Africa, offering a unique insight into one of nature's most formidable predators (and one of my biggest fears!).

If you couldn't already tell, this week's episode is all about MOUNT EVEREST!! I was honored to sit down and recently talk with Polish mountaineer Marta Misztal about her journey to the summit of the world's highest peak, and I have to tell you- I was both inspired and a little starstruck 🤩. Marta shares the detailed steps of her climbing progression, from her first mountain to the intense preparation and gritty reality of scaling Everest, including encounters with the remains of past climbers. Tune in to hear how her vibrant personality and fierce determination carried her to the top of the world, and what it truly takes to conquer such a formidable bucketlist challenge.

Roberta Mancino, a world record-breaking skydiver from Italy joins us on the first episode of the ADVENTURE SEASON (ahh!!) to share her journey from dreaming about skydiving to transforming it into a record-setting career. She also offers invaluable advice for thrill-seekers looking to tick skydiving off their bucket list. Whether you're a curious newcomer considering making the jump or you're interested in hearing about Roberta's unique experiences, this episode will have you ready to go on your next big adventure.
