Listener Wade Tonkin and comedian Sean Keane join Jeremy to talk about their treks to Everest Base Camp. This amazing trek in Nepal takes hikers high in the Himalayas to the base camp where climbers get ready to ascend the tallest mountain on earth. Wade tells about his inspiring story of getting fit for this difficult trek and Sean tells us about the stand-up comedy performance he did during the trek. Listen to the end to hear clips from the actual performance. And Jeremy fills us in on Mt. Everest, Sherpas, and of course, the base camp itself.

Listener Veronica McGee joins Jeremy to talk about her several adventures on the Via Transilvanica, a new 1,400 kilometer trail that crosses a huge swath of Romania, in Eastern Europe. The trail brings hikers through small mountain villages where they'll stay in local homes and eat home-cooked meals. The trail traverses Transylvania, and includes multiple crossings of the Carpathian Mountains. And we'll have to keep on the look out for signs of one of Romania's most famous historical residents, Vlad Dracula.
