Charlie Walker: TBF Episode 63

Trial By Fire

Our guest today is Charlie Walker, a British writer, explorer and journalists who has spent the last decade travelling to the four corners of the globe, including a 43,000-mile bicycle journey through Europe, Asia and Africa, across Mongolia by horse and most recently, walking across Siberia. A journey that was cut short by the invasion of Ukraine. We got the chance to talk to Charlie about this most recent event, and his trouble with Russian authorities, as well as discussing the role of explorers in the 21st century, and how our desire to travel to these remote places impacts our ability to protect them. We also discuss journalism, and the influence of the Climate Crisis. Make sure to grab Charlies books on his website https://www.cwexplore.com/store/p5/The_whole_saga.html
