From a very young age Benedict Allen dreamed of becoming an explorer. At the age of twenty two he saved up just enough money to get himself to South America and back, with the plan that he would cross the north of the Amazon basin. After spending five months in the rainforest with two local guides, Benedict found himself with two illegal gold miners, who one night, decided they would kill him. Benedict managed to get away, however he found himself alone in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. Benedict knew if he wanted to live and see his family again, he needed to do whatever it took to find a way out.

Benedict Allen has made a name for himself, not necessarily for what he does, but for what he does not do...travel with modern technology. For the last several decades, Benedict has explored some of the most remote corners of the planet, from crossing the Amazon basin to the deserts of Namibia. And instead of navigating those highly complex journeys with modern technology, he's chosen instead to embed himself with local cultures, relying solely on the goodwill and guidance of native people to survive. And today, we're following along as he recounts some of his most epic -- and occasionally terrifying -- adventures. From living in a 'crocodile nest' in Papua New Guinea for six weeks to narrowly avoiding being gunned down during a mountain crossing deep in the jungle, Benedict has some truly wild stories to share. But his story isn't solely about adventure...it's about the humanity we all share.  As of May 2024, Papua New Guinea is experiencing devastating landslides. If you feel inspired by the stories of Papua New Guinea's people in today's episode, please consider donating to organizations such as Papua New Guinea's Red Cross or IOM relief efforts.

Benedict Allen is an explorer, adventurer, author and television presenter who finds himself in Dubai for the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature with sessions on both Feb 4th and 5th.   He tells Sonal about his expedition style that centers around immersing himself first with the local, indigenous people where he learns certain tools to survive, before setting off on a solo journey, without back up - so no phones, and no GPS through places like the Amazon rainforest, the Gobi desert, and the Arctic.  It's a style that has landed him in some pretty life threatening situations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Author, environmentalist, film-maker, international motivational speaker.  Arguably no one alive has lived so long isolated and alone in so many potentially hostile remote environments. Benedict Allen is the only person known to have crossed the Amazon...

My guest in this episode is Benedict Allen, an English explorer, environmentalist, film-maker and author of a number of books, including “Mad White Giant”, “Into The Crocodile Nest” and “Hunting the Gugu.” Benedict has become famous for his immersive style of exploration, by disconnecting from technology and diving into the lives and cultures of indigenous communities, from whom he learns survival skills in challenging and often hostile environments. He has recorded six TV series for the BBC, both traveling solo and with camera crews, enabling armchair travelers to enjoy his remarkable adventures. In 2010, he was elected a Trustee of Royal Geographic Society. Read the full article HERE. What Was Covered: How to rely on traditional communities to fulfill our needs in what are often challenging environments When change is good and when it is dangerous, and why individualism is regarded as a threat in many traditional cultures The power of nurturing a resilience mindset, planning and mitigating risks both on remote expeditions and in day to day life Key Takeaways and Learnings: It is crucial to foster a sense of community and connection, and to be deeply in tune with those around us so as to overcome challenges, whether in the natural world or in business environments The seeming lack of progress and innovation in traditional communities has resulted in durability, continuity and a perfect balance with the natural environment, which is what many of us are seeking in the fast-paced world we inhabit The practice of disconnecting and seeking different perspectives may be a key survival skill for modern societies Links and Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Benedict Allen's website Into the Crocodile's Nest, a book by Benedict Allen Hunting the Gugu, a book by Benedict Allen Mad White Giant, a book by Benedict Allen Alex Honnold, professional adventure rock climber Birds of Paradise: The Ultimate Quest, BBC2 series featuring Frank Gardner and Benedict Allen

What does living adventurously mean?I have been hooked on adventure since the age of 18. I began by reading Ranulph Fiennes, Dervla Murphy and Benedict Allen when I should have been revising for my A-Levels. Most of my heroes were adventurers and writers. I wanted that world for myself.I spent the best part of the next 20 years crossing continents, oceans and deserts in pursuit of ‘adventure'. I cycled tens of thousands of miles, camped for a thousand nights or more and travelled through almost a hundred countries. I wanted excitement, challenge, hardship and risk. To test myself, prove myself and live on the edge – of my maps, my potential and my comfort zone. And I got it all. Those were days of miracle and wonder.But my perception of adventure has changed a great deal since I first traded the green hills of Yorkshire for a year on the red soil of southern Africa. Real life arrived eventually. It catches up with most of us in the end! My uncomplicated pursuit of the life of my choice collided with the very different adventures of marriage and children. So today, I am an ‘Adventurer' or an ‘Author' for just 30 hours a week. The rest of the time, I am simply ‘Dad'. I have a mortgage to pay and two kids to pick up from school at 3.15 every afternoon. (Time check: 28 minutes left until today's brief work slot is over. Or 33 minutes if I run to the school, thus risking the wrath of my 8-year-old daughter who deems such behaviour' embarrassing ‘... much to my delight.) Is it possible to live adventurously in real life? This book began as my own attempt to answer that question. I no longer see adventure as the exclusive domain of rugged tough guys (and me) doing rugged stuff in rugged places. It is much broader than that. What' living adventurously' involves will differ for everyone. Rest assured that it need not involve crossing deserts or even sleeping in a tent. Despite the years I spent chasing big adventures from the frozen Arctic Ocean to the gales of Patagonia, this book has nothing directly to do with travel or expeditions. It is something we can all do, whether we are young and carefree, busy with bills and babies and yearning for a brief burst of escape, an empty nester, or someone looking to shake up a weary rut by learning something new.This is a critical distinction for the pages ahead: living adventurously is the attitude you charge at life with. Anyone can choose their attitude. Living adventurously is about being eager to look differently at things, be bold and risk looking a fool. This invites us to stretch ourselves – mentally, physically or culturally. To attempt challenges that are difficult and daunting. To accept the risk of failure in exchange for the enticing sense of surprised satisfaction upon completion.You can live adventurously anywhere; in your office or home as well as in the hills. You don't have to be rich or fit or young or talented to live adventurously. It's nothing to do with Mount Everest or the South Pole. Living adventurously is not about being lucky enough to have an adventure of a lifetime one day. Instead, it is a choice to live a more adventurous life every day. You can begin right now, without needing to spend a penny. A combination of age, momentum and understanding that living adventurously makes me happier means that I am now quite willing to be regarded as a weirdo. I have learned to prioritise that rather than what other people think I should be doing. I often feel like an outsider because of the way I want to live. But the ticking of those 2000 Mondays convinces me that the urgency is essential and being the village weirdo is a small price to pay.I am editing these words in a garden chair swinging pleasantly in the branches of a lime tree eight metres above the ground. I sleep out on hilltops while my friends are perusing the wine list in gastropubs. I love arriving at meetings reeking of wood smoke. I often give serious corporate presentations in a suit, but with wet hair and going commando after jumping in a nearby river and towelling myself off with my boxer shorts.Fear not: no lycra, muscle, beard, ego or even wanderlust is required for the reading of this book. Would you like to live more adventurously? I know that I certainly would.OVER TO YOU: - What does living adventurously mean to you? - Keep that definition in your mind every time I use the phrase.★ Support this podcast ★

He’s the writer of a plethora of books, including ‘Into the Crocodile Nest: A Journey Inside New Guinea’, ‘Hunting the Gugu’, ‘Into the Abyss’, ‘Edge of Blue Heaven: A Journey Through Mongolia’, ‘The Skeleton Coast: Journey Through the Namib Desert’, ‘Mad White Giant’, and presenter of six BBC television series. He’s the only person to have crossed the full width of the Gobi desert alone except for camels. He’s well known for his technique of immersing himself with indigenous communities and avoiding taking technology with him on expedition. He has survived many near-death experiences, including sewing up his own chest-wound with his boot-mending kit after being abandoned by his guides in Sumatra. In this episode we discuss his inspiration from his air pilot father, how he developed the mental and physical resilience to go on months-long solo expeditions in his 20s. He describes enduring brutal initiation ceremonies in Papua New Guinea with the crocodile cult, that involved being beaten every day five times a day with bamboo blades, a ceremony that no outsider had before experienced; encountering snakes in the Mongolian desert. And we talk about how exploration can help us understand the current mass extinction of wildlife we are experiencing and causing.
