Interview with Sean Conway – Next in line to attempt the G.W.R for the fastest cycle around the world.
1.What expeditions/adventures have you been on to date? Not a lot really. Well not as much as I would have liked to have done.

Interview with Margaret Bowling – Expedition Manager and first Aussie women to row an ocean.
1.For all those who want to follow in your footsteps, how did you become an expedition manager….university degree/extra curricular activities/work experience…the lot? In 2008 I formed Team EPIC, a team of mad, bad and dangerous to know adventurers. An initial failure to find sponsorship for a Greenland Icecap race led to a last-minute scramble toContinueContinue reading “Interview with Margaret Bowling – Expedition Manager and first Aussie women to row an ocean.”
