Adventure Diaries: Exploration, Survival & Travel Stories
Real adventure isn't just for the pros. The award-winning Adventure Diaries brings you authentic stories of exploration, grit, and the wonder of the natural world, specifically curated to help you plan your own journey.
Hosted by Chris Watson—an award-winning storyteller and Scottish micro-adventurer—this show bridges the gap between extreme polar expeditions 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.
What Makes This Show Different? Unlike other outdoor podcasts, every episode delivers three distinct promises to help you live a more extraordinary life:
- Unique Adventure Stories: Immersive storytelling from National Geographic explorers, survivalists, ultra-athletes, and frontline conservationists. From the peaks of the Seven Summits to the depths of the Amazon, experience the thrill of the unknown.
- Your Call To Adventure: Passive listening ends here. Each guest issues a practical challenge to inspire you to step out your front door and discover the wild places in your own backyard.
- Pay It Forward: We believe in sustainable travel and stewardship. Every episode highlights a specific charity, wildlife project, or community cause.
Join our global community of explorers. Discover hidden gems, learn survival skills, and find the motivation to push your boundaries.
