Adventure Almanac

Join us for true stories about the adventures, heroes, and misfits that shaped society by exploring and pushing the limits of the unknown. Each episode is a short story about interesting people, beautiful places, and the challenging decisions of some of history’s greatest adventures. We explore famous firsts, near misses, lost expeditions, pioneering missions, quirky events, forgotten achievements - and why they matter. Adventures highlight the extremes of the human experience. Risks amplify potential outcomes and make extraordinary moments even more fascinating. Every adventure is different, but the lessons are often timeless and universal. We profile diverse adventurers from around the world. Immerse ourselves in the context of different times in history. And, see what we can learn from hiking, biking, climbing, kayaking, traveling, mountaineering, sailing, surfing, skiing, Overlanding, flying, and more. There’s a story to almost every adventure, and we hope you are inspired and better prepared for whatever adventure lies ahead. The Adventure Almanac is brought to you by the team at Adventure Nerds. Are you ready for an adventure? Alright then, let’s go!
