Quo Vadis - A Pilgrim's Journey
Quo Vadis is a reflective podcast about following your calling — and what happens when you step into the unknown.
Drawing on myth, psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, the podcast explores the inner journey behind outer adventures. Each episode moves through themes such as transformation, surrender, purpose, fear, and meaning, inspired by Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.
Hosted by pilgrim, writer, and long-distance hiker Uffe Sveegaard, Quo Vadis weaves personal storytelling with conversations and reflections on what it means to live a life guided not by achievement, but by calling.
While the journey often unfolds through wilderness trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, Quo Vadis is ultimately about the terrain within and how we return home changed.
This podcast is for listeners who seek depth, meaning, and the courage to walk their own path - even when the way forward is unclear.

Episode 7: Meeting Dave - aka Money Bags - an Unexpected Gift
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Quo Vadis, I talk with Dave – “Money Bags” – my hiking partner and dear friend on the Pacific Crest Trail.
We met by chance at the foot of the High Sierra, just when I had run out of plans. But looking back, it was no coincidence.
We talk about synchronicity, trail magic, friendship, trust, and trials – and about the Meeting with the Goddess, in both light and shadow, in practical terms.
And about how the people we meet can carry us further than we ever thought possible.
