   The Woman Walking the Length of the Earth...

   What does it take to walk the entire length of the Earth, alone, as a woman? Lucy is an Australian adventurer on the final stretch of an almost decade long walk from the southern tip of Argentina to the top of Alaska. She started in 2017 with basically zero through hiking experience, her longest hike before this was three days, and somehow became the first woman to ever walk the length of South America along the way. She's also Australian Geographic's Adventurer of the Year, and yes, Wombat has his own award too! In this episode we get into the real safety playbook she's built for herself walking alone through some of the most remote and unpredictable places on Earth, the scariest moments she's faced and how she talked her way through them, and what it's actually like to be taken in by strangers over and over again for nine years. We also talk about the setbacks nobody saw coming, what almost made her quit, and what she's learned about trust, fear, and who really shows up for you when it counts. This one's for anyone who thinks their window for something big has already closed. Lucy's living proof that it hasn't.

   She Went Viral Two Days After Almost Dying at Sea...

   Quinn Abigail grew up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania as the oldest of six kids, and now lives a fully nomadic lifestyle between sailboats and a backpack. In the last few years she's lived off grid in Hawaii, worked as an underwater photographer for a dolphin tour company, sailed from Hawaii to Fiji, spent almost 10 months backpacking through Southeast Asia, and built her own group trip company, Outer Current Club, from scratch. If you've ever watched someone's "living on a sailboat" content and thought it looked dreamy and relaxing, this episode is going to change your mind. In this episode, Quinn talks about how she ended up living on a sailboat in Hawaii with basically no plan, no shower, and no real idea what she was doing, and how a "simple" inter-island delivery with a friend turned into nine days she still can't fully believe she survived. She gets honest about what it actually costs to live that lifestyle, the parts nobody posts about, and the moment two days later that changed her life in a completely different way. We also get into her 23-day sail from Hawaii to Fiji, what it's really like to be on watch alone at 4am in the middle of the Pacific, and the wild string of "right place, right time" moments that got her there in the first place. Quinn also opens up about going viral, what it's actually like to build an audience while living out of a backpack, the pressure and the hate comments that come with it, and why she eventually walked away from hosting trips through a big travel platform to build Outer Current Club on her own terms. We talk backpacking through Southeast Asia, a trek in Nepal she'll never forget, meeting her boyfriend in the most random way possible, and what this whole chapter of her life has taught her about success, trust, and letting go of the plan. This one has it all: the beautiful parts, the terrifying parts, and the parts that are honestly just really funny. Let's dive in!

   How to Survive 90 Days Completely Alone in the Ocean

   Cyril Derreumaux holds three Guinness World Records. In 2016, he and a crew of three other men set a record for the fastest ocean rowing crossing from California to Hawaii, finishing in 39 days. In 2022, he went back completely alone in a kayak he built himself and became the first person to cross that same distance 100% human powered, solo, and unsupported. Then in 2025, he crossed the Atlantic in 71 days, becoming the first person in history to solo kayak two different oceans. In this episode, Cyril takes us back to where it all started, backpacking around the world alone at 25 with just $7,000 and a one year plane ticket. He tells us how that trip turned him from a tourist into a traveler, and how it planted the seed for the life he lives now. Then we get into how he went from never having kayaked in his life to captaining a rowing crew across the Pacific, and why that wasn't enough for him. We get into exactly how he survived 90 days completely alone in the middle of the ocean, the routine that kept him alive while sleeping through the night with cargo ships passing just miles away, what actually happens to your mind after weeks with no human contact, and the moment during his crossing that he says changed how he thinks about God. He also opens up about his grandfather, who escaped Nazi occupied France on foot during World War II, and how that story has pushed Cyril toward hardship his entire life. This is a story about pushing past what you think a normal person is capable of, on land and at sea. Cyril is proof that the line is much further out than you'd expect. Let's dive in!
