You find new and exciting adventures for me to explore each time I sign onto your channel. I haven’t experienced all five of your adventures, but I’d have to answer your question with the Iceland trek as it brings one to places that so few ever see. Breathtaking like nowhere else in the world.

Great job, Jen! It was so great to relive our adventure through your narration and awesome videography. I can't recommend this trek enough-the beauty of the mountains and the wildflowers were amazing. It is challenging to hike but so worth it and the huts/lodges are welcoming and the food served at each very good.

this lift replaces the original one-person yellow bubble which closed some 50 years ago. You would then see intrepid off-pisters walking up this hill (taking all day) to be faced with an almost vertical descent in usually very deep virgin snow. My friend lost his new skis on the way down, and spent another 4 exhausting hours crawling up and down trying to find them. He missed dinner. And his new skis. Happy days.

My husband and I are doing this in February and cannot wait! We plan on using Ultimate Hikes poles but bringing the rest of our gear. Couple questions--did you check your backpack as luggage to NZ and any tips on doing that? Also, we are planning on wearing hiking shoes not boots (they bother the heck out of my ankle bones) and these are not waterproof. I keep reading that you are going to get wet no matter what and it is more important to be comfortable and non waterproof shoes will dry quicker anyway. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you for an amazing video--I love your enthusiasm!
@ExploreThisShow 15 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching and being on the journey with me! You two have an epic adventure ahead! I only went to NZ with a carry on, as I love to pack light. Since you are renting poles, you could absolutely avoid checking your backpack unless you're bringing more luggage. For shoes, it's all about comfort and tread. If boots bother you, trust that! You will get wet no matter what but that is part of the fun!

I am from Germany, and have visited the Dolomites since the 1960s. For decades there were no American, Chinese, or Russian tourists . The region literally was only known to German or Austrian visitors, especially the German-speaking regions.. The South Tyrol region really has changed negatively since the influx of all these other tourists! Now EVERYONE is crowding this beautiful region, and it is just not the same idyllic place anymore!

I would go clockwise to Rifugio Frederich Auguste and even hike a little past that point and you'll get lovely views. The best part is the views are already there when you start at Hotel Passo Sella.
