“We're fighting to make the world less boring. Our planet used to slap us about the face-cheeks with iron fists of adventure every day.  Maps had edges to walk off. Whole continents lay undiscovered. But now, the entire surface of the Earth has been scanned by satellites and shoveled into your mobile phone, tagged with twattery about which restaurant serves the best mocha-latte-frappeshite.  We live to find ways to make the world a bit more difficult. To bring chaos into our over-sanitized lives.  To create adventures where you don't know what will happen tomorrow or if you'll even make it. Because we think there's no greater moment than those seconds as you leap into an abyss of uncertainty and disaster.” Tom Morgan, The Adventurists  This is how a group called The Adventurists describe themselves, and today we're speaking with one of their founders about the trip that inspired it all. It's called the Mongol Rally, and the premise is to drive from London to Mongolia, in a car that costs not much more than a cup of tea, with no plan and no back up.  In this day and age, with the technology we have in our pocket, there's a tendency to plan things out to the nth degree. The Adventurists offer an important counterpoint to that. Maybe adventure should have an element of risk?  Maybe embracing the unknown is an essential part of exploration? What if we're denying ourselves something important in our over-sanitized lives?  Today's guests Jenny Hunter talks about this and lots more, as she takes us 10,000 miles from a bar in Shoreditch to Ulaanbaatar.  SIGN UP FOR CHAOS Believe it or not, you can actually do the Mongol Rally yourself, as well as a bunch of other mad cap adventures.

Hello, and welcome to number 145. This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Gurian, a journalist, adventure traveller, podcaster, and reporter. Scott joined me to discuss his adventures on the Mongol Rally, visiting Chornobyl, witnessing an Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru, and more. I begin the episode by asking how Scott got interested in travel and where his early journey took him. One of the stories was about Mexico but not Cancun for Spring Break. We also talk about Scott's podcast, Far From Home, which is a travel podcast that immerses the listener in the travel experience. I have a clip from Scott's Ayahuasca Retreat embedded in the episode.Scott is a fantastic storyteller, podcaster, and journalist, and his stories are captivating. I absolutely love his podcast work, as you really feel part of the journey. Below are some of the links to get acquainted with Scott's work.

#103 - When Scott Gurian, a journalist with a knack for embedding himself in the marrow of the world's less-trod paths, tells the story of the Mongol Rally, you can't help but lean in closer. I had the pleasure of peeling back the layers of Scott's 11,000-mile trek in a vehicle that's barely more at home on the vast steppes than a fish on a bicycle. His voice brings the landscapes alive, from the UK to the heart of Mongolia, regaling us with the kind of cultural exchanges that turn travelers into storytellers and storytellers into the sort of friends who make the global seem local.As Scott and I chatted he found himself reflecting on his own transformation from an adventure-averse high schooler to a globe-trotting journalist. The discussion meandered through the backstories that shape a journey, like reporting on Mexico's Zapatista movement and the brotherly bond forged over 18,000 miles of open road. Scott's stories aren't just pins on a map; they're reminders that the world is wide, and the roads we choose can change us, challenge us, and charge us with tales worth telling.Our conversation took unexpected turns, as all great journeys do, touching on Scott's personal quests—from seeking a healing stone in Peru to the introspective throes of an ayahuasca ceremony. He shares his ongoing aspirations and the cultural connections that continue to beckon him across continents. And for those of you with itching feet, Scott's insights are a siren call to embrace the spontaneous, the serendipitous, and the frankly astonishing warmth and hospitality that can be found in the unlikeliest of places. So, wherever you are, buckle up and let's hit the road with a true maestro of the map, Scott Gurian.You can find more about Scott and his podcast Far From Home by visiting www.farfromhomepodcast.org or checking out his Instagram @farfromhomepodcast.Please give me a follow on Instagram @journeywithjakepodcast.  I would love to connect with you.Visit LandPirate.com to get your gear that has you, the adventurer, in mind.

Sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn, Reynolds Landscaping & Lawncare, Everest Counseling (Farmington, Mo)When Nathan Mongol Wells, the frontman and creative force behind Ottoman Turks, steps away from the band's energetic persona for his solo debut album, "From A Dark Corner," it becomes evident that he's exploring a different facet of his artistic identity. Set to release on State Fair Records this year, Wells' solo venture delves into introspective territories, distinct from the lively characters that populate Ottoman Turks' vibrant songs.Unlike the conspiracy-obsessed uncle, the self-conscious southern bro, the perpetually partying rocker, or even the vengeful spirit of JFK that inhabit Ottoman Turks' tunes, Wells' solo work emanates a sense of having spent a night locked in heated debates at a dimly lit Dallas dive bar. It's as if he has finally found solace, retreating to a quiet corner of his home, a glass of well-aged tequila in hand, to silence the cacophony of voices echoing in his mind.Ottoman Turks, renowned through accolades from Rolling Stone and the Dallas Morning News, boasts an impressive catalog of two distinct studio albums and over a decade's worth of performances that have numbered in the thousands. Among its members, guitarist Joshua Ray Walker and bassist Billy Law have each embarked on successful solo careers, but at its core, Ottoman Turks is Wells' brainchild. While Walker delved deeper into his country influences and Law produced poignant, literal ballads, "From A Dark Corner" presents a deeper exploration into the man responsible for the Turks' cinematic universe.This debut album, produced in collaboration with John Pedigo and described by Walker as "fervorous," retains the chaotic essence of Wells' previously crafted characters, albeit in a less raucous manner. "From A Dark Corner" stands as a testament to Wells' evolution, embracing an autobiographical approach that lends a more traditional and honest perspective to his music.Wells, who adopted the moniker "Mongol" from his high school fascination with the intercontinental Mongol Rally, considers this project a direct expression of himself when he's in the act of singing. The result is a unique blend of whimsy and darkness, a style reminiscent of Roger Miller, where Wells skillfully intertwines lighter tones with the weightier themes he addresses.This distinctive musical fusion may be attributed to Wells' formative years, spent on the fringes of Dallas' eclectic musical haven, Deep Ellum. His influences, spanning from The Strokes to Tom Waits and Hayes Carll, have left an indelible mark on his artistic sensibilities. Wells, however, acknowledges that his inherent restlessness might prevent him from crafting songs intended for quiet, introspective moments."From A Dark Corner" retains the essence of the Americana genre, yet it is characterized by a deliberate avoidance of the mundane, much like Wells' entire body of work. His voice, devoid of menace, possesses the uncanny ability to infuse whimsicality into his darker themes, an alchemy that can be likened to the charm of Roger Miller.In essence, Nathan Mongol Wells' solo debut, "From A Dark Corner," captures an artist navigating the labyrinthine corridors of his own psyche. It reflects a departure from the animated characters that populate Ottoman Turks' energetic anthems, a journey into the introspective recesses of a musician's mind, poised to unravel deeper layers of emotion and experience. As his artistry continues to evolve, Wells' ability to craft music that resonates at the crossroadThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

“Me acuesto y me despierto todos los días pensando en lo mismo, ¿cómo podemos hacer que Crypto sea útil para más personas?”- Daniel Vogel ( 

Borders, oceans, and lesser-known cities — these are some of the places in-between point A and point B, places which aren't often thought of as the highlights of a journey, yet can so easily define it. Join host Saskia as she reflects back on the last 35 episodes of the Globetrotters podcast, and the lessons learned from various guests and their adventures chronicled on the show.

In 2004 the Mongol Rally was created; a global road trip where drivers race over 16,000 km from England to Mongolia. There's no set route and you have to use a car with a tiny engine. A year later it was introduced to the wider world for the first time and Richard Birch from England took on the challenge with his friends, all in an old Fiat Panda. Richard tells Vicky Carter about his memories of the journey across Europe, Russia and Asia. (Photo: Two cars competing in the Mongol Rally in 2004 in Mongolia. Credit: The Adventurists)

Scottish adventurer Chris Ramsey is set to become the first person to drive from the magnetic North Pole to the South Pole and will be undertaking the journey in an all-electric vehicle. Departing in March 2023, Ramsey will travel over 17,000 miles spanning 14 countries from the Arctic through to North, Central and South America, before finally crossing to Antarctica. The expedition will raise awareness of the climate crisis and the critical role electric vehicles can play in reducing our carbon footprint. Chris Ramsey Team Ramsey and his team have been preparing for the expedition for over four years, and it marks a significant moment as they welcome Nissan as the official vehicle partner of the unprecedented Pole to Pole expedition. The exciting new partnership with the Japanese automaker will see the team explore the world's most extreme yet beautiful terrains in the all-new Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE. With predicted temperatures ranging from -30? C to 30? C, the daring venture will demonstrate just how powerful, fun and thrilling electric vehicles can be. In preparation for the brutal Arctic and Antarctic conditions, Ramsey's expedition Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE will be modified and equipped by Arctic Trucks, a renowned specialist in polar vehicles. They will also provide logistical support and expertise to help plan a safe and accessible route through the most remote and hostile environments on Earth. While much of the attention will rightly be on the polar regions, the team will face numerous challenges crossing Arctic sea ice and traversing the Americas. The myriad of harsh environments is sure to prove tough, from torrential rain, mud and soaring temperatures at the equator to the windswept altitude of the Andes. New adventures in unfamiliar lands will become the team's daily reality. Ramsey and his expedition crew will encounter many cultures and communities along the globe-spanning drive, investigating solutions for sustainability issues, from polar melting to habitat loss and the environmental threats posed by the climate crisis. The focus of the expedition is to raise international awareness of the climate crisis and electric vehicle capability, but Ramsey and the team will also get involved with local projects along the way, including visiting a school that teaches children about renewable energy, and venturing into the Ecuadorian Amazon to meet a local tribe who protected their ancestral home. This isn't the first electric expedition for Ramsey, who has been adventuring in electric vehicles for over a decade. In 2017 he, and wife Julie, became the first team to complete the Mongol Rally in an all-electric vehicle. The pair travelled over 10,000 miles through 20 countries in 56 days, driving from the UK to Siberia behind the wheel of his Nissan LEAF. Chris Ramsey, Founder of Pole to Pole Expedition, said: “Our mission is to show that electric vehicles can tackle the harshest of environments – from the bitter cold of the poles to the hot and humid jungles of South America, and illustrate that they can meet the demands of drivers around the world, and encourage the switch to zero-emissions transport. To that end, we are thrilled that Nissan has joined the expedition. As a long-term Nissan LEAF owner and driver, I'm eager to get behind the wheel of my Ariya and put it to the ultimate test on this incredible 17,000-mile journey. It is fantastic to see such an important global brand get behind Pole to Pole and its fundamental purpose – a better world for us all through smarter, more sustainable mobility. We will also raise awareness of sustainable lifestyles, conservation projects and renewable energy innovation along our route.” Asako Hoshino, Nissan Executive Vice President, global head of marketing and sales, said: “We're proud to announce our partnership with Chris Ramsey and the Pole to Pole expedition team. The all-new, all-electric Ariya crossover SUV enables you to go further, easier and in comfort. With e-4ORCE contro...

It's not surprising that no one yet has driven an electric vehicle from the North Pole to the South Pole. It's a difficult journey and there's likely long stretches without convenient charging stations. And, given the abundance of oceans, it's probably a lot simpler to just take a boat.But next year, British adventurer Chris Ramsey is going for it. He and his team will set out from the magnetic North Pole in a tricked out, all-electric Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE and cross 14 countries over about 17,000 miles. The team plans to travel through North America and South America before crossing over to Antarctica.Given the variety of terrain and temperatures, ranging from -20 to nearly 90 degrees fahrenheit, Ramsey's Nissan will be modified with a custom rugged exterior with upgraded wheels, tires and suspension. A second, unmodified Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE will act as a support vehicle throughout the Americas.This isn't Ramsey's first time covering a lot of ground in an electric vehicle. In 2017, he and his wife, Julie, finished the Mongol Rally, a roughly 10,500-mile intercontinental race that starts in London and ends in Russia, in a Nissan Leaf. That took 56 days so it's reasonable to believe that the Pole-to-Pole expedition could last at least three months.Ramsey said that his mission with this upcoming adventure is to show that “electric vehicles can tackle the harshest of environments – from the bitter cold of the poles to the hot and humid jungles of South America, and illustrate that they are exhilarating to drive whilst meeting the daily demands of drivers around the world.”

In this episode, I speak with Sherry who is a long-term traveler, blogger, and photographer with one goal in mind - to make you wish you were somewhere else.  She writes about her travel lifestyle and around the world adventures on Ottsworld.com and her social media channels.  She has lived in Vietnam, hiked the Annapurna Circuit with her father, drove 10,000 miles from London to Mongolia in the Mongol Rally, walked across Spain on the Camino de Santiago, kayaked in Antarctica, and drove an auto-rickshaw across India for charity.  She continues to seek out epic adventures to intriguing places in order to challenge herself and inspire people to overcome their fears and reap the benefits of travel.

In this episode, Kaitlyn, Mo and Sam each researched an inspirational woman from history to present to each other, and also to you, the listener. We didn't know anything about the women the others chose, so all of the reactions you hear in the episode are genuine and off-the-cuff. By chance, we each wrote about a woman related to different themes: Social justice, reproductive justice, and adventuring. Hopefully you'll be as awed and inspired by these women as we were.

ComebaCK sits down with Ted Todd, a British man, who in 2019, after 13 great years teaching abroad in the Caman Islands, gave up his job to complete a bucket list project - The Mongol Rally. The Mongol Rally is an intercontinental car rally that begins in Europe and ends in Ulan Ude, Russia, going over 8,000 miles and being completely unsupported. We chat about the logistical, physical and mental challenges of completing such a race, the thrill of driving through a multitude of countries, the people Ted met along the way, the kindness and hospitality of those with less than ourselves, and why you should just live your life. Really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too. You can find out more about Ted and his documented journey at Youtube “Travelling Ted”, (make sure you include the speech marks) and more about ComebaCK at @thecomebackwithck on Instagram and www.thecomebackwithck.Wordpress.com.

The Mongol Rally has been described as “the craziest motoring adventure on the planet”, and for good reason. This 10,000-mile journey spans from London, England to Ulan Ude, Russia and passes through twenty countries on the way. Ralliers team up, buy a tiny, crappy car sight-unseen with a smaller-than-one-liter engine, and send it. So, what kind of lunatics would set out on such a journey? Milwaukeeans looking for a hell of an adventure. Charlie Hawks, Henry Sanders, and Ben Selig teamed up to conquer this seemingly-infinite route through Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It was a tough venture, but when it was all said and done, they'd learned quite a bit about the world and themselves, and they were happy they did it.To hear the whole story right from the horses' mouths, tune into this episode of The GoGedders Podcast. Host Richie Burke sat down and recorded live at Milwaukee's Rotary Club with our three adventurers, Charlie, Henry, and Ben, to talk about their journey and what they learned along the way. You'll hear on-the-fly fixes, playing chess on a Turkmenistani ferry with foreign truckers, and learn a few interesting facts about countries you didn't even know existed.
