#19 Chaz Powell The Wildest Journey | Explorer of the Year 2021

Episode Summary

What does Adventure mean to you? In this episode I chat with explorer and expedition leader Chaz Powell about his epic travels and world firsts, breaking down the ins and outs of planning and expedition and how to start having adventures with a purpose.

Episode Notes

Adventure means different things to different people. An adventure for some could mean going for a dip in an icy tarn or riding a mountain bike down a gnarly home run; for others it could be climbing a mountain for the first time or facing a long-term fear of some sort. 

For explorer and expedition leader Chaz Powell, adventure has become a way of life that has seen him walk the length of some of Africa's wildest rivers and create a way of life that embraces nature and sustainable living. Along the way Chaz has sought to highlight the devastating realities of wildlife crime and conservation issues across the globe. For his work Chaz was awarded with the honorary title of `Explorer of the Year” by the Scientific Exploration Society in 2021, and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society.

In this episode I chat to Chaz about his explorations and missions to create positive change.
