Laura doesn’t particularly like rowing, which sounds crazy after you realize she rowed a boat 3,000 miles across the Atlantic with a team of three other women in just 43 days 2 hours and 20 minutes. On top of that, they managed to do this by rowing in 2-hour shifts, 24-hours a day, every single day. It’s not rowing that Luara loves, but a pure and unfiltered adventure and the push of the human spirit to experience it. We hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation around adventure and the unexpected joys and struggles when you put yourself out there.

In 2018, Heather Anderson became the first woman to hike all three of the "Triple Crown" thru-hikes; Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails in a single calendar year. The 7,900-mile journey took 251 days to complete and led her to become a 2019 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year.  She also holds the overall record for self-supported fastest known time on the Pacific Crest Trail (60 days) and the women's self-supported FKT on the Appalachian Trail (54 days). Her book, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home came out earlier this month, which recounts her story of leaving her unsatisfying job, marriage, and life after her first thru-hike in order to return back to the trail and begin hiking again.  You can find out more about Thirst here:  Amazon: Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home Instagram: @anishhikes Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

Adventure (ad·ven·ture): an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity.   That basically sums up life itself. The most unexpected, seemingly unfair, and hazardous things happen to us at every turn. We want adventure, but don't always love when it shows up. A life-altering injury is, by the definition above, an adventure. Well, it's not always exciting, but you get the picture.    To go from a collapsed spine at the age of 19 to being on a sponsored climbing expedition to the Ivory Coast is not an overnight journey, nor is it pleasant, but it is adventure. Astrid's story is one of hope, patience and sheer grit to rise from what many would call a crippling situation (literally) to seeing the beauty in what happens to all of us at some point and accepting it as what life is all about.    Adventure doesn't always lead us down a peaceful path but teaches us to find peace no matter what path we're on.    Instagram: @astridsoutham   Project Côte d'Ivoire https://www.projectci.co.uk/   Instagram: @projectci_uk      Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

Thinking about changing life up dramatically for you and your family? Today’s episode is with one of the former hosts of the Adventure Sports Podcast, Travis Parson, with his wife Jen who packed up their kids and dogs and set out for a year-long fulltime RVing adventure (a goal that ultimately led Travis to have to stop hosting the show!). Today’s episode is their 6-month update and what an adventure it has been so far! Life on the road truly is one day at a time because each day feels like it has the same amount of experiences as an entire month back in normal life. We hope you’re inspired after this!

The first time was with NASA scientists testing the software to control Robonaut in a zero-G environment. The second was sponsored by Northrup Grumman, a defense contractor, to spark interest in science in students.
