Tom's Big Adventure Podcast
Tom hitchhiked alone from Cornwall to Australia to challenge the idea that the world is inherently dangerous. Along the way, he encountered territorial wolves, the Russian Secret Service and overcame terrible self-doubt. He learned a lot about what we need as humans and developed some unique perspectives on resilience.
Whether it's exploring the outdoors, pushing personal limits, or rethinking what we've been told, this channel is about discovering a fresh perspective on life.
