Podcast guests wanted: Adventure Travel Authors and Content Creators The 10Adventures Podcast is looking for guests for 2026. The podcast is ranked in the top 5% globally by listen notes, and we have released 245 episodes since 2021. We like to talk about great journeys and the outdoors, and how our lives are changed by both. We are looking for what are traditionally the best guests: storytellers, authors, or content creators. Please drop a note if this is you.

I would love to be considered as a guest for the 10Adventures Podcast. I am Capt Chris, a marine biologist and boat captain based in Panama City Beach, Florida, and the owner of Flippin' Awesome Adventures. My work blends outdoor adventure, marine science, and storytelling on the water. Every day I guide families through encounters with dolphins, sharks, and coastal ecosystems, using real world exploration to spark curiosity and connection to the natural world. Much of my life has been shaped by time outdoors, from early research days in marine biology to running hands on eco tours that focus on education, conservation, and shared experiences. I spend a lot of time telling stories, both in person on the boat and through content creation online, about how meaningful moments in nature can change how we see the world and ourselves. I would enjoy sharing stories about life on the water, lessons learned from wildlife, building an adventure driven business, and how outdoor experiences can bring families closer together while fostering respect for the environment. Thank you for putting together such a well regarded podcast. I would be honored to be part of a future episode. Best regards, Capt Chris Flippin' Awesome Adventures

Dear 10Adventures, I saw your call for guests for the 10Adventures Podcast and thought I'd drop you a note. I'm based in Cornwall, UK, where I run Kernow Coasteering. What is coasteering you may ask? It's an activity that originated in the UK and isn't very widely known beyond its shores. To put it in the most simple terms possible, it's exploring remote and rocky sections of coastline without the use of support craft (boats, kayaks, etc.,). It allows the exploration of an environment in much greater detail and immersion than by any other means. And importantly - It's REALLY good fun. A combination of many things, coasteering combines the very best elements of wild swimming, scrambling and climbing, as well as caving and cliff-jumping. Even in the UK, it's generally only carried-out as a water-down guided experience for tourists, stag dos and school kids. But there are an extremely small number of people who are pushing the limits of coasteering's more extreme and exploratory nature. Coasteering has taken me into parts of the coastline very few people ever see. Indeed, I've explored numerous sea caves and other coastal features where I was likely the first person to ever set foot. I myself am in the midst of a multi-year project to coaster the entire 400-mile coastline of Cornwall, the region of the UK where I live. In addition, I've been lucky enough to go on coasteering expeditions overseas, including diverse locations such from Iceland and the Faroe Islands, to Sardinia, Portugal and Oman. With so many thousands of miles of coastline across the globe completely untouched by coasteering, its potential for exploring new ground is completely unmatched by any other activity. If you think it would be a good fit, I'd love to join your podcast to talk more about what coasteering Is, why it's so exciting, and its huge potential for exploring hidden ground all over the world. I look forward to hearing from you, Matt George Kernow Coasteering

Hi, I'd love to participate, I've been documenting my adventures on planetofadventures.com for a few years now, giving tips to encourage all that are curious about exploring the great outdoors, in an inclusive and not boasting way. From camping on the great wall of China to solo hiking in Scotland, my travels so far have taken me through some of the most beautiful places on earth. I look forward to collaborate with you. Cheers, Juan planetofadventures.com

Did you know that the park services offer some highly limited lottery permits for some of the best outdoor experiences in the world? This past year I pulled two of those permits. Within a months reach I found myself face to face with 800lb brown bears in a remote area of Alaska and got my first real white water experience self guiding a 16 day trip through the Grand Canyon. As a travel photographer there are opportunities that you can't say no to and behind every image is an adventure to support it. I'd love to share some of those stories and support your audience in understanding how they can use their camera to deepen their connection to these types of experiences.

I've spent more than 15 years building and leading real world adventure trips, focused on local culture, nature and the true stories from the trail. I am not a typical author of books, but I produce travel stories and content out there in the field, testing routes, adjusting plans when things don't go as planned and turning such events into lessons that can help others. On the podcast, I get to spread simple, impactful stories about how being outside changes us (and them), why mindset and respect for locals beats peak bagging every single time, what it takes to run trips that're safe and ethical, and how anyone can plan adventures that give back. I offer the voice of a storyteller and an operator's perspective on risk, logistics, and what actually works for people.

Hello, I'm Sahana, an architect, travel author, and the founder of the travel blog Vacaywork. I tell travel stories shaped by long journeys, everyday problem-solving, and a deep love for history and old cities. I have travelled extensively across India since childhood and started travelling internationally in 2018. I am not a thrill chaser or a box ticker. I walk cities instead of rushing through them. I care more about understanding a place than photographing it. Historic streets, local food struggles, language barriers, and cultural surprises are what stay with me. I am a monthly contributor to Deccan Herald, one of India's leading national newspapers, where I write about culture, crafts, architecture, and travel-linked histories. I have also been a guest on several podcasts, including The Musafir Stories, where I spoke about destinations like Madurai, Bijapur, and Chikmagalur through personal journeys and local context. My background as an architecture academic helps me connect travel with design, landscapes, and human behaviour. I enjoy talking about how travel changes perspective, reduces judgement, and teaches patience. Travel, for me, is about solving problems on the road and growing quietly through them. If you are looking for a storyteller who blends journeys, reflection, and lived experience, I would love to be part of the conversation.

Dear 10 Adventures, as an intrepid mountaineer and expedition leader I would like to offer my voice on one of your upcoming podcasts in 2026. We can discuss your desired theme from a broad range of explored countries and activities with mountain sports background. Looking forward to be hearing from you and Im available for further questions and desires! Alpine greetings, Davide Guzzardi

Dear 10Adventures Podcast team, I am Nune from Armenia, the founder of Cascade Travel: https://thecascadetravel.com/tour-category/adventure-tours/. I have been in the tourism industry since 2010 and would be more than happy to share my experience and knowledge about adventure tourism in Armenia. Throughout my 15 years of experience, I have had various experiences managing tours, solving problems, and adapting tours to be more sustainable. I believe that the communications with locals, being a guest at some random villager's house, and experiencing the hospitality make a difference between standard travel just for sites, to a meaningful and true understanding of culture and traditions. What are the topics I can cover: How the adventure tours are organised in Armenia Which are the popular trails for hiking and trekking Is Armenia worth cycling and mountain biking Armenian cuisine and wines I hope I can bring value to your listeners and they start to think about less-traveled, off-the-beaten-path destinations like Armenia. Best regards, Nune Tatunts LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nune-tatunts-037b80117/

Hi 10Adventures team, I would love to be considered as a guest for 2026. Australia's outdoor life revolves around water. We have beaches, rivers, lakes, rock pools, and local swim spots. I often help families learn how to enjoy these places safely. I run a swim school in Canberra that focuses on water safety for young kids. My work combines adventure, community, and practical risk awareness. On the podcast, I'll share easy tips for swimming safely in various water environments. We'll cover what to teach kids and adults first, ensuring confidence grows with skill. I'll also provide a quick "risk read" guide for travellers. This includes how to check conditions, questions to ask locals, and how to adapt plans without losing the fun. Let's chat! Please reach out to my PR team: chad@ottomedia.com.au

Hello! I am the founder and creative director at Calabria Food Fest! I would love to be on your podcast. I think the festival and what it stands for would be a cool conversation. Calabria is the least touristed region in Italy, and every year we invite VIPs, content creators, and influencers to experience a truly authentic Italian experience away from the tourist overcrowded spots. Last year we had Zane Phillips as a guest and other 36 personalities. Let me know if this could be of interest! You can check our Instagram feed here: https://www.instagram.com/calabriafoodfest/ Thank you Anthony Neal Macri

I'd love to chat with you. Over the past decade I've built ilovewine.com into a platform with 500k+ users while personally exploring wine regions from Bordeaux chateaux to Mount Etna's volcanic vineyards to late-night sake bars in Tokyo. Each trip taught me how landscapes, culture, and the people behind craft beverages transform how we see the world. The storytelling angle is where things get interesting. I pivoted from digital strategy into wine journalism specifically because every bottle has a journey--the fourth-generation Pinotage maker at Kanonkop, the eco-lodge owner in South Africa's winelands, the sommelier pairing natural orange wines with street food. These aren't just taste profiles; they're human stories about tradition, risk, and connection to place. I've spoken at wine and hospitality conferences about how digital media shapes consumer behavior, but the real adventure is always offline--hiking through Douro valley cellar doors or experimenting with global flavor pairings in my California kitchen. Happy to discuss how food and drink travel changes your relationship with both the outdoors and the cultures you encounter.

Leadership growth often mirrors adventure travel—both are shaped by uncertainty, preparation, and moments that test decision-making under pressure. Experiences from long-distance trekking, high-altitude expeditions, and remote travel environments have directly influenced how leadership development is designed at Edstellar, where resilience, adaptability, and situational awareness are treated as learnable skills rather than traits. Research from Harvard Business Review shows that experiential learning improves leadership capability by nearly 75% compared to classroom-only methods, while studies published in the Journal of Experiential Education highlight that outdoor and adventure-based experiences significantly strengthen problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and risk assessment. These same principles appear in modern corporate training programs, where real-world simulations outperform traditional lectures. Conversations around adventure travel, storytelling, and personal transformation align closely with how professionals today build stronger leadership mindsets, making this intersection a compelling topic for audiences interested in journeys that change both perspective and performance.

A career built across continents, client sites, and long-distance journeys has shaped a deep respect for adventure as a powerful teacher of leadership and resilience. Experiences ranging from Himalayan treks to solo travel through remote regions of Southeast Asia have influenced how challenges, uncertainty, and decision-making are approached in global business environments. Research from Stanford University shows that stories are remembered up to 22 times more than facts alone, which explains why travel narratives often leave a lasting impact and spark meaningful reflection. Adventure travel strips life down to essentials, sharpening adaptability, cultural empathy, and perspective—qualities equally vital in leading large, distributed teams through digital transformation. Conversations that explore how the outdoors reshapes thinking, leadership, and purpose align naturally with audiences seeking more than destinations, but transformation through journey, making this perspective a strong fit for a podcast built around authentic storytelling and life-changing travel experiences.

Adventure travel and professional growth share a common thread: the most powerful learning happens outside comfort zones. Leading global studies consistently show this connection—research published in the Journal of Experiential Education highlights that immersive, real-world experiences improve long-term learning retention by over 30%, while a 2023 McKinsey report notes that adaptability and problem-solving skills are increasingly shaped by non-linear life experiences rather than formal classrooms alone. From a leadership perspective at Invensis Learning, exposure to unfamiliar environments—whether trekking remote trails or navigating new cultures—builds resilience, decision-making clarity, and reflective thinking, all of which translate directly into career success. Stories rooted in adventure resonate because they reveal how moments of uncertainty spark transformation, a theme that aligns naturally with conversations about growth, mindset shifts, and lifelong learning. This intersection of travel, storytelling, and skill development makes for compelling dialogue that connects deeply with audiences seeking meaning beyond destinations.

I would love to explore whether I might be a fit for your show. I am a psychotherapist, children's book author, and TEDx speaker whose work centers on emotional regulation, identity, and how meaningful experiences shape the way we live and lead. In my TEDx talk, I share how travel allowed me to step outside familiar patterns and see my life with new perspective. That experience helped me reconnect with myself in a deeper, more embodied way. Much of my work now focuses on helping people find their internal compass, especially during seasons of transition and burnout. I often speak about travel and time in nature as catalysts for mental clarity, emotional insight, and the courage to choose differently. Your podcast's focus on how great journeys change us aligns closely with how I understand both healing and growth. I would be honored to contribute to that space. I look forward to hearing from you.

While building Artmajeur, we traveled through small villages and remote artist communities across Europe. We have many memories of those days, but one experience that remains vivid was meeting an artist in a cliffside village in Portugal, whose studio overlooked the ocean. He explained to us why he had chosen this location: the ever-changing light and sea views allowed him to learn patience. This moment changed how we thought about creating, and art itself has become a journey across landscapes, rather than just a studio-based practice. A lot of what we do now is travel to meet artists who find inspiration in mountains, deserts, and coastlines, nd whose stories help us continue to develop and build out our platform and support other creatives around the world. We would love to share with you how traveling to explore these different areas and the people who create there has transformed both our business and our definition of what an adventure truly is. To us, an adventure is finding beauty in the least expected locations on earth.

My most meaningful adventure wasn't a long expedition; it was a steep, rocky trail in Utah. I went there after a tough year in business, unsure of what to do next. Halfway up, I almost turned back, but an older hiker behind me said,'' Take one more step, then decide.' I kept going, and the view at the top felt like someone had hit reset on my mind. That climb changed how I lead my company. I returned home with a new sense of calm and started fixing problems I had avoided. One small step at a time became our team's motto. I'd enjoy sharing how that journey reshaped my confidence and helped me build a more grounded business. Sometimes the outdoors teaches lessons that books can't.

Hi 10Adventures Team, I'd love to throw my hat in the ring for your 2026 season. I've spent the better part of my life testing the extremes of travel. Ffrom owning a hostel in the wild landscapes of Iceland to waking up in luxury suites in Singapore. But the real adventure is the one I'm on right now. Currently, I'm writing this from a campervan somewhere in Europe. My partner and I are chaining together housesits across Italy, moving from 19th-century farmhouses to Tuscan villas with absolutely no set destination or timeline. One week we're managing spoiled Italian Labradors in a rustic cottage; the next, we're navigating the van through narrow medieval streets. I've hit over 50 countries and lived in seven, covering the full spectrum from broke backpacker to business owner. Whether it was campervanning the circumference of Australia or figuring out how to run a hospitality business in the Arctic Circle, every trip has fundamentally shifted my perspective. I know 10Adventures is all about how great journeys change us. My transition from a fixed address to a life of indefinite motion, blending the grit of van life with the unique intimacy of housesitting, is a story about letting go of control and finding "home" in the unfamiliar. I'd love to share the highs, the lows, and the logistical chaos of it all with your listeners. Cheers, Konrad Warzecha
