And yet somehow he’s found himself tracking down Giant Squid in the middle of the night during a hurricane on the ocean and trekking through the wilds of the Amazon in search of a legendary explorer who went missing in the 1920s.
The author of The Lost City of Z (one of my favorite books) and The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, David Grann.
Today he joins us to talk about how he got his start as a journalist and how he’s experienced some crazy adventures in pursuit of his stories.
Because even if you’re not looking for adventure, sometimes it comes looking for you.
This is part one of a two-part interview. Check back tomorrow for part II.

Big thanks to @DavidGrann for coming on and sharing some of his great adventures! Looking forward to part II!→ http://bit.ly/10UbOsH #travel
Yesterday we talked a bit about Expedition 1000, but what kind of journeys are these really? Why does he undertake them? How much planning does he do? The questions are endless.
Dave patiently answers all of them and hands out some great advice on lifestyle, packing, and working on the road along the way.
We end our awesome interview with some travel mishaps that prove that perhaps, Dave isn’t so superhuman after all…

Dave shares a mountain of good advice here. From how to start changing your life and adventuring to the logistics behind adventuring and working on the road, there’s someone here for everyone.

No matter how many times I try, I just can’t get them to admit it.
We’ve had adventurers on before, and I always ask the same question.
So, you’re a superhuman right?
Turns out none of them will admit to it.
They just keep telling they’re regular Joes.
Or in Dave’s case, a couch potato.
Dave Cornthwaithe joins me today to talk about his Expedition 1000 project – 25 journeys of 1000 miles each. All made on manpower alone.
Skateboard, kayak, bicycles, and more; if Dave can make it go, then it’s going.
We discuss moving from an unfulfilled life to one full of joy and spontaneity, how to deal with the people who are critical of these choices and living life to the fullest.
This is part one of a two-part interview with Dave Cornwaithe. Be sure to check in tomorrow for the rest!

Our hometown.
Philadelphia!
From the best places to eat and drink around town (including the dive bars) to the most interesting museums for children and adults, it’s all here.
Everything we mention could be done in a couple of day itinerary in Philly (except for maybe all the food. That’s a lot of pizza!) and is great for single travelers, couples, or those traveling with children.
What’s your favorite place to go in Philly? Did we miss something important that we need to do when we get back from SE Asia? Let us know below!
