In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Martyn Williams, whose extraordinary journey spans remote mountain ranges, Antarctica expeditions, teaching in the Yukon, and deep inner exploration through meditation and human potential work.

Martin shares how early experiences walking the hills of Wales sparked a lifelong connection to nature, how curiosity led him into some of the most extreme environments on Earth, and why inner exploration ultimately became just as important as physical adventure.

From pioneering expeditions to the South Pole and across Antarctica, to mentoring troubled youth through nature-based learning, to living and training in an Indian ashram, this conversation explores what happens when you keep asking, “What’s next?”

This is a wide-ranging, reflective episode about adventure, resilience, simplicity, and learning how to live with less fear — and more meaning.

Whether you’re an adventurer, a creative, or someone searching for a calmer and more intentional way of living, this episode offers powerful insights into human potential and the art of exploration — both outer and inner.

Oscar shares how a “random” decision to take a teaching job in Sudan changed the entire direction of his life, sparking a 20-year journey living, working, and traveling across 35 African countries. He opens up about misconceptions that keep travelers away from places like Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Madagascar — and why those stereotypes are outdated and unfair.

Oscar also tells the full story behind the Mangoky expedition: navigating bureaucratic obstacles, trekking through remote mountain ranges, facing immense portages due to rapids and croc-filled canyons, and hiking for nine days without water resupply. With satellite maps from the 1980s, confusing tributaries, and no agreed-upon “official” river source, finding where to start the expedition was an adventure in itself.

Through this intense journey, Oscar reflects on resilience, teamwork, risk, and why community support — not macho heroics — is what makes expeditions succeed. The episode also highlights Oscar’s charity work supporting Malagasy children in rural education.

Chris explains key concepts from the book, including biophilia, the human need for nature, and homo urbanus, the rapid shift to city living that has reshaped our daily experience over the last century. Together, they explore inspiring examples from cities across the globe: Japan’s research on nature and stress, Nairobi’s challenges with “biophobia,” Singapore’s groundbreaking green buildings, Medellín’s wildlife corridors, Barcelona’s superblocks and BC Buses, and more.

This conversation shows how nature isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity that improves health, happiness, safety, and even biodiversity. And importantly, many of the most effective solutions are low-cost, scalable, and already transforming cities today.

Cassandra shares how her philosophy of slow travel grew out of a “travel breakup” in her twenties and evolved into a new way of moving through Europe — one that prioritizes connection, culture, and authentic local life. She explains why small villages offer richer experiences than tourist hotspots and how travelers can blend hiking, culture, food, and community simply by slowing down.

From the Dolomites to the Somme, the Piedmont to Provence, Cassandra walks through some of her favorite home-base regions across Europe — and the unique stories, landscapes, and local interactions that make them come alive.

This episode is full of practical insights and deep reflections on how to travel better, notice more, and build real connections along the way.

In this episode, Richard talks with Maxim Budnick, the outdoorsman and filmmaker behind the popular YouTube channel. His videos capture breathtaking expeditions through some of the most untouched landscapes in Canada, from -30°C winter camps to multi-week canoe trips across the Northwest Territories.

Maxim shares how his lifelong love of nature turned into a full-time passion for adventure filmmaking. They discuss bushcraft, survival, and the meditative power of wilderness solitude. Maxim also opens up about what it’s like to create content far from civilization — balancing the joy of adventure with the challenges of carrying camera gear, extreme weather, and total isolation.

This conversation is a deep dive into the beauty of nature, the simplicity of canoe travel, and what it really means to connect with the wild.

In this week’s episode, we chat with Nathaniel Allenby, author of Cycle of Kindness, which chronicles the first leg of his six-year, 28,000-mile cycling journey across ten countries. The twist? Nathaniel did it almost entirely without money, relying on the generosity of strangers, dumpster diving, and the spirit of community to make it from Amsterdam to the edges of Europe.

They discuss what it’s like to live fully outside of society’s norms, the lessons learned from minimalist travel, and how uncertainty can become a pathway to resilience and human connection. Nathaniel also reflects on how this journey — part physical challenge, part social experiment — reshaped his worldview and inspired a deeper belief in people’s inherent kindness.

In this episode, Richard sits down with Marie Leautey, a French ultra-endurance runner who became the fastest woman — and only the second woman in history — to complete a run around the Earth. Marie recently released her book Lootie's World Run, sharing her incredible 700+ marathon journey across continents.

Marie’s story is one of resilience, perseverance, and the pursuit of impossible goals. She explains how she broke down the monumental task into manageable steps, how running connected her to cultures and landscapes most tourists never see, and why the journey was as much about mindset as it was about mileage.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing a challenge that feels out of reach — because if Marie can run around the world, what might be possible for you?

Starting with just four days of backpacking experience, Nikita set out to walk across the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. Along the way, he navigated unmarked trails, carried everything on his back, and captured the entire journey in a stunning seven-part YouTube series.

Nikita shares what makes the HRP special — from remote wilderness and few resupply points to dramatic shifts in terrain and weather. He also opens up about his love for wild places, the joy of solitude, and how he’s preparing for his next big trek in Sweden.

But this conversation goes beyond the extreme: Will reflects on how we teach kids to engage with the outdoors, how climate change is reshaping the wild, and what we lose when remote places become crowded.

Over the course of a year, Charles and his family visited eight countries across four continents, carrying only backpacks and a commitment to reconnect with each other and the world. Their sabbatical wasn’t an escape — it was a deeply intentional pause designed to build memories, spark curiosity, and slow down in a fast-paced life.

Charles shares what it was like to say goodbye to stability, how they traveled on a budget, and how worldschooling transformed his kids’ education. He also opens up about rediscovering presence, parenting with awareness, and writing his first book, not to publish, but to remember.
