For Episode 11, the Staying Adventurous Podcast decided to shift gears and give advice, suggestions on holiday gift ideas. Born is the 1st annual holiday gift guide for the adventurous. The podcast will not just identify products, but also identify concepts to consider when determining what to buy the friends and family fortunate enough to be on your list.

Listen in as host Craig Zabransky, the owner of StayAdventurous.com personally recommends each gift idea highlighting his personal experiences. Discover the importance of travel and experience when selecting the right gift idea. Consider inspirational gifts to push people forward to take and make adventure in their life.
