"In the wild we remember who we are." Every episode is packed with inspiration, courage, passion, vulnerability, and a pure celebration of wild places. These conversations are about connection, and I promise they’ll ignite that fire in your belly for adventure.
If you love the outdoors, planning adventures, and that buzz of excitement of the flat lay the night before, pouring over maps, the joy of the road trip, celebrating the summits, scaling walls, the burn of the ice cold water or simply just being outdoors to breathe in the air with pals, this podcast is for you! I want to create that same feeling for you through each listen.
Think of Adventure Unfiltered as another step in your planning process for your next adventure, or simply just a way to connect with the outdoors when it’s blowing a hoolie outside and you’re grounded by the weather but still craving the wild and the feeling that brings.
