Episode #156 Summary

Conservation travel sometimes provides us with experiences that we were not anticipating – for the better and for the worse. Between missed planes, unexpected injuries, and close calls with wildlife, travel gives us some of the best stories to retell around a warm campfire. 

Today’s conversation is the second episode in the super fun mini-series called “Conservation Chronicles: Tales from the Field” where I sit down with a former guest to explore the most unforgettable tales etched in their memory.

The next storyteller in this series is Court Whelan, PhD, Chief Sustainability Officer at Natural Habitat Adventures. Prepare yourself for remote medical evacuations, lost travelers, an intimidating silverback, and so much more.

Once you’ve enjoyed Court’s stories, scroll through the archives all the way back to Episode 5 to listen to Court share his journey into conservation travel, what the field is, and how we all can maximize our positive impact through travel. 

I have a quick ask before releasing into Court’s adventurous world.
