One year ago, I sat down and recorded the very first episode of the Ultimate Adventure Travel Podcast.
At the time, I had no idea whether anyone would listen. I didn't know if I would enjoy podcasting, whether I could stay consistent, or whether I would still be recording episodes 12 months later.
Fast forward a year, and we're celebrating 55 episodes, countless hours of conversations, incredible guests, fascinating adventure stories, and a growing community of people who share a passion for adventure, travel, exploration, and personal challenge.
In this special anniversary episode, I reflect on the journey so far, share some of my favourite moments from the podcast, discuss the guests and stories that have had the biggest impact on me, and reveal what I've learned from a year of showing up every week behind the microphone.
In This Episode
- Why I started the Ultimate Adventure Travel Podcast
- The reality of recording 55 consecutive weekly episodes

- My favourite podcast episodes from the past year
