Real adventure isn't just for the pros. The award-winning Adventure Diaries brings you authentic stories of Adventure, exploration and the wonder of the natural world, specifically curated to inspire your next adventure.
Hosted by Chris Watson—an award-winning storyteller and Scottish micro-adventurer—this show bridges the gap between extreme feats and accessible everyday adventures.
Whether you are a seasoned mountaineer, a weekend adventurer, a solo traveler planning your next trip, or someone seeking the mental health benefits of nature, you have found your tribe.
We go beyond the standard interview to decode the "why" and "how" behind the world's greatest adventures.

In Season 1, Episode 11, Chris Watson chats with the adventurous Tahir Shah about the transformative power of stepping out of our digital comfort zones.
In a world increasingly dominated by smartphone technology, Tahir advocates for a more authentic way of navigating our surroundings. "Turn off your mobile phone," Tahir suggests, encouraging us to experience places like Morocco not through the GPS-dictated routes but through the enriching act of getting lost. This simple yet profound advice resonates deeply, especially considering our present digital saturation. Tahir recalls his own experiences and inspirations, such as the legendary explorer Wilfred Thesterjot, who traversed the Arabian desert in the mid-20th century, long before the era of mobile phones.
This conversation is a call to rediscover the joys of unplanned adventures and serendipitous encounters. Chris and Tahir discuss the significant impact of embracing the zigzag paths that life offers—paths that often lead to self-discovery and a greater appreciation for the world.
Beyond personal transformation, Tahir and Chris touch upon the spirit of giving back through adventures. Tahir highlights the "Each One Teach One" charity, an initiative that embodies the spirit of community support and the enduring impact of education. This charity's simple model of paying it forward by funding someone else's education after benefiting from the same opportunity encapsulates the podcast's theme of interconnectedness and mutual growth.
For those inspired to embark on their own adventures, whether they are mini expeditions or deep cultural immersions, "Adventure Diaries" offers not just stories but gateways to action. Chris Watson invites listeners to join upcoming events that promise not only adventure but also an opportunity to connect with like-minded explorers.
Whether you're an ardent adventurer or a curious listener, this episode of "Adventure Diaries" with Chris Watson and Tahir Shah is a treasure trove of insights on how stepping away from technology can lead to more meaningful engagements with the world and with each other.
For anyone looking to embrace the ethos of adventure in their lives, remember that sometimes, to find yourself, you must first get lost. Tune in to "Adventure Diaries" for more inspiring stories and join the community of those who dare to explore beyond the screen.
