In this episode, I am honoured to be joined by one of the most imaginative and daring adventurers of our time: Dylan Wickrama.

Dylan is know for his globe-spanning motorcycle odyssey, including a legendary crossing of the Darién Gap on a self-built raft powered by his bike. He then embraced a vanlife existence, travelling slowly and purposefully. And now, he’s preparing to embark on a new, audacious journey: a Fiat Panda 4×4 world tour, beginning just weeks away.

During our conversation we explore the meaning of life, the mindset behind choosing small vehicles for big journeys and lessons learned from past extremes.
