Ep. 1019: Trekking Across the Namibian Desert - Gillian Millar

On today's episode, Curt talks with Travis Rabenberg about how he manages to spend much of his life traveling to new places, seeing amazing things and meeting interesting people. He spent 13 months travelling around the world by motorcycle and ultimately wound up in a Sportsmobile adventure van heading down through Central and South America surfing, kiteboarding and climbing along the way. If you are looking for some inspiration to hop up and begin your own adventure, this episode should do it for you.

Curt surprises Travis with a spontaneous phone call and discussion about the fear of trying new adventure sports. This oddball episode is outside of our normal realm but will hopefully provide you with some smiles and laughs as well as some food for thought. As if putting Travis on the spot by cold calling him to have this discussion wasn't enough, Curt decides to toss Travis directly under the bus by slipping in a very embarrassing little ditty Travis recorded while testing a new microphone back in the fledgling days of the Adventure Sports Podcast. Enjoy a laugh on my behalf!  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
