In this episode, I go over my recent trip to Georgia to climb Mount Kazbek day by day. It's just impossible to include every detail and even when editing I remembered bits that would have been fantastic to include. But tomorrow I'll remember even more.
I also cut in segments from interviews I did with three of the people from the trip.
I hope you enjoy it!

Cast your mind back to when you were 19/20/21 years old; what were you doing? For me, I was crawling my way through an undergraduate degree on a diet of alcohol! For this episode's guest, Adriana Brownlee, she had already climbed Elbrus, Killimanjaro, Aconcagua, completed the Welsh 3000's - not to mention the National Three Peaks at age 9!
Now, Adri has grown her goal to being the youngest person to complete all 14 8000 metre peaks. With Everest, Manaslu, and Dhaulagiri already in the bag, we talk through her already huge experience and her down-to-Earth mindset talking all things mountains (+ the normal waffle from me). I hope you enjoy!
Follow Adri as she completes all 8000 metre peaks:

This episode's guest is Matt Pycroft, founder of Coldhouse Collective and host of the top-rated The Adventure Podcast. But these aren't the only things that define Matt. As we explore Matt's experience, background, and views, his self-awareness and honestly lead his answers from pivotal moments in his life to the level of subconscious influence his own preferences could have on his work. From tales of adventure to exploring mindset, I'm confident you'll love this episode.
https://coldhousecollective.com/
Unfortunately - and a long story made short - we had some internet issues which led to our own audio being fine (we recorded on our own ends separately), but some small background noises happening throughout the call at times as we had to chat on WhatsApp video call; things like my headset microphone tapping or hearing me laugh in his audio. Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but I hope it's not a bother for you all.

Jay is the host of 28 Summers and someone who 'lives adventurously'. What does this mean? Well, we'll dive into it within the podcast and the inspiring, stop-dead-in-your-tracks moment and reason behind it. But, it essentially means taking the joy and the lessons of adventure through micro-adventures over a weekend or before work all the way to larger expeditions across the water and up mountains.
Having Jay on was a true pleasure and it was so fun chatting with him. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did, and I hope more so that you take a listen to the 28 Summers podcast if you haven't already!

James Dyer is this week's guest, and he is an incredibly accomplished man! Hear us discuss everything from the jungle, to the arctic, to leadership. You can follow along with his adventures at: https://www.james-dyer.org/adventures/

Fiona Quinn is most notably known for setting a world first and Stand-Up Paddleboarding from Lands End to John O'Groats - including crossing the Irish Sea and narrowly avoiding the third-largest whirlpool in the world.
Still not impressed? Fiona is also afraid of the sea and open water, which makes this incredible feat that much more impressive.
It was a pleasure to have Fiona on for a quick talk about her background, achievements, mindset, and what's next!
You can catch her on her website, purchase her book "Ignore The Fear", and follow her on Instagram to keep up to date with her adventures:

Hayley Gendron is a multi-disciplined and quietly adventurous character who advocates for indigenous and environmental rights. Without making a song and dance about it all, her experience sees her in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian rainforest working with animals, travelling and adventuring from Patagonia to Canada, and mountaineering and rock climbing all while learning her native language Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and promoting indigenous rights. When she's not doing this? You can probably find her paddling in the bay around Vancouver or hiking a nearby mountain.
The episode talks about the influence of adventure, purest canoe expeditions (is portaging necessary?), type 2 fun, wearing a hockey helmet for rock climbing, falling in love with landscapes, the Yosemite Of The Sea, indigenous rights and its relation to environmental protection, lessons learned from native languages, an adventure-gone-wrong in Patagonia, and more!

Luc Mehl is a lover of Alaskan wilderness and nature, with an incredible ‘adventure CV’ under his belt. Born, raised, and residing in Alaska, he has traversed the three highest mountains in North America, headed out to remote and wild regions of Alaska, and completed extreme, multi-day endurance events. For education and vacation, he has also traveled and explored places like Norway, Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Nepal. All of this while expanding his self-powered method to include hiking, biking, ice-skating, pack rafting, and skiing.
In the episode, we discuss traversing the three biggest mountains in North America, discovering – and staying well away from – the line of acceptable risk, adventures in Alaska and the Alaskan Wilderness Classics, experiencing ‘gifts’ of nature, ‘good fear’ and ‘bad fear’, the 60% rule, and so much more such as mindset and even mental health in the outdoors.

Holly Budge is an incredible adventurer with a CV spanning the globe. Holly was the first person to skydive above Everest, she has ridden and raced semi-wild horses across Mongolia, and taken to mountaineering from the crevasses of Mount Rainier to the North Col of Mount Everest.
Some of her most important work, though, is the conservation effort that Holly puts in to save elephants. 96 elephants are poached each day, and Holly's work alongside rangers with non-gory exhibitions is helping to reduce that number.
Holly Budge
Having Holly on the show was a total pleasure. The passion and experience she has for adventure and the world really shines through, and I hope you hear that in the podcast.
With a background like hers, it's also no wonder that she is a speak too. You can check out more of Holly's work with her own personal website here.
Her work alongside and supporting rangers and communities is incredible, and I highly recommend you check out her work and support if you can. With endorsements from people like David Attenborough, you really can't go wrong here!

This time talking about his expeditions in Patagonia. Kayaking along the coastline, exploring the fjords, and camping next to glaciers, Will takes us talks with us about ending each season of guiding in the area with an expedition.

Nepal has been a honeypot for adventurers alike. From those wanting to explore culture, to the mountains, to the summits, I think everyone can agree just how majestic this place is.
In this episode, Andrew talks through the itinerary for his Manaslu Circuit Trek. Trekking through forests, past waterfalls, viewing 8000 metre peaks, and a rare animal... I'll let you find out which!

Happy Holidays everyone! Today's episode is just a fun one. Join Ryan from Travel With Cooky, Dustin from That Adventure Life, and Ali who writes the music for the podcast as we just have a laugh talking about the year, adventure, travel, and a Christmas Quiz!
The episode is a recording of our live episode that we streamed to the Facebook page (so make sure you're following on social to get updates!) This was such a fantastic time. Having become accustomed to speaking with friends through a webcam, there were times during the recording where things just felt... normal.
Thank you to everyone who tuned in. We hope to do more, so let us know what you think on btmtravelpod@gmail.com

TJ David is, on paper, a professional skier and trail runner. In real life he is even more than that! Talking about quite possibly his favourite ski mountaineering expedition, hear TJ talk about his time in the Lyngen Alps, Norway taking in the breath-taking mountains reaching straight out of the fjords!
Hitting some popular and some untouched slopes, and finishing the day with beer in a small hut in the snow, TJ dives in to this expedition and will absolutely captivate you as you instinctively start booking your next ski trip!
TJ David – More Than Just Ski Mountaineering
TJ asks his clients a lot about their “WHY”‘s. In the interview, I turned the question on to him.
There’s is so much to this personal level of reasoning and spirit. But what TJ touches upon – which I think it silently very inspirational – is his love for the daily process of improving a little bit, every single day. Making those small steps that over time produce the big picture goal. Having that long-term goal.
What is your long-term goal?
TJ is an incredible individual, with so much to give. You can check out his coaching here, his Instagram here, and more information on himself here.
