Ep. 682: First Descent Kayaking in Bhutan - Ben Morton

The stories we hear on Adventure Sports Podcast are incredible, but often we are left with a lingering question of “how did they pay for this amazing adventure?” What I’ve learned through the years from my own adventures and from our hundreds of guests has led me to record this episode and commit to asking that exact question to more guests in the future. If you have great tips and ideas on how to make adventures more financially feasible that weren’t mentioned in this episode, let us know at info@adventuresportspodcast.com!Our Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/aspSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As a neophyte horsewoman with a minimal command of the Spanish language, Nancy rode off across Patagonia, alone, on horseback. Over the next decade and three thousand kilometers of rugged horse trail, Patagonia’s wild country and the hardy pioneers who settled there took her in and changed her. She published a book about the experience, Riding Into the Heart of Patagonia. When she is not in Patagonia, she lives in a cabin outside Palmer, Alaska, where she enjoys the luxuries of hauling water, chopping wood, and high-speed Internet.www.ridingintotheheartofpatagonia.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Riding-Into-the-Heart-of-Patagonia-1700774059962723/Order the book: Riding Into the Heart of PatagoniaOur Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/aspSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
