Hello and welcome to number 82! This week I am joined by Dave Seminara who is the author of a book I read called Mad Travelers: A Tale of Wanderlust, Greed and the Quest to Reach the Ends of the Earth. I was absolutely enthralled with his book, so much so I asked Dave to come on the podcast to talk about it. We delve into many subjects such as 'wanderlust', the reasons why we travel, the science behind the urge to not stick to one place for very long, why some people hate travel, the outline of his book, travel during COVID and so many more subjects. The running theme of this conversation is discussing the extreme travel community which Dave's book is based on.
I have learnt so much about the extreme travel community and their ambitions to travel to the most far flung places on Earth. We talk about the most isolated island on Earth called Bouvet Island. We also talk about the most isolated inhabited island on Earth called Tristan da Cunha. We explain the motivation for people to enter the country counting clubs like Nomad Mania and MTP. A real fantastic conversation and one in which I came away from thinking I have learnt so many new things in the near two hours of the conversation. Thanks to Dave for coming on the podcast and enjoy!
