Jesse didn't grow up like the rest of us. He grew up exploring the wonders of the world. At the tender Age of 12 his parents packed Jesse and his brother up, bought a couple of tandem bicycles and with a $40 a day budget they set off. What was suppose to be a few months riding down the Americas soon turned into years of exploring all corners of the world as a family.

Sarah Davis

In 2019 Sarah became the first woman to lead an expedition down the Nile, the world’s longest river. The expedition began at the Nile’s source in Rwanda and followed the path of the White Nile to its end where it meets the Mediterranean Sea. The trip involved over 1,100km of rafting, 3,000km of kayaking and other forms of transport to make it down this mighty river. On the way she was attacked by a hippo, arrested and detained in Burundi, ran some lethal rapids and travelled through Sudan as the people attempted to overthrow the government. This drama was complimented by experiencing the diverse cultures of the countries she travelled through, seeing the incredible landscapes and being challenged physically and mentally.  #diariesofthewildones #adventure #wildstory #storytelling #explore #inspiring #africa #travel #crazystory

Diaries of the Wild Ones is a collection of adventure tales shared by Aaron Shanks and the people he meets around the World. With an appetite for the unique and pushing themselves to the limits, these tales from the road, recorded on the road, will have you on the edge of your seat. Focusing on the weird, wonderful and sometimes scary elements of adventure travel both at home and abroad, it’s as much about the journey as it is getting home in one piece.

I’ve enjoyed this podcast while on watch with our sailboat. My kids have enjoyed it too and find similarities to our lives. Good job and keep it going! Cheers.

Great stories

Aaron and all his nomad, adventuring buddies/mates are living the “frothing” life and we who listen and watch do it with respect and awe and sometimes total disbelief. 😯👏🏼🙌🏼 ...And quite a bit I’m shaking my head wondering what the heck was he/she thinking. 😂

This podcast is an in depth look at the adventures most of us only dream of taking —the only problem is once you start you can’t stop listening!

I love living on the edge through these stories and can’t wait for the next podcast. Great going Aaron!! Keep living out the dream &amp; we’ll keep cheering you on.
Best to you!
Suzette :)

It was such a pleasure to meet Yannick (yannickbindert.com), A guy with a passion for adventure and photography. A guy that really thinks outside the box.

You walk people past herds of Elephants, Lions, Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffes, Hyenas, Leopards. You name it. This guy has been way to close for anyones comfort zones and has learnt how to read and react to all types of animals behaviour. And with this lifestyle comes a vault of wild stories to tell.

Joe Clarke, The Life of a Professional Bodyboarder

This is an experience that changed my view on life, that changed the way I look at humanity in general. To see the look in a mans eyes when he is trying to take the life of another. To see how life can be so cheap to some. I saw horrific things that night that gave me nightmares for months. Every time I've told this story I know I don't or cant give the severity of the situation justice.

Surviving The Arctic Circle in a Canoe

It's not everyday you get into a fight with a wild animal, let alone a shark. This is one wild story when we the predators became the prey. In the middle of the ocean, in between Tonga and New Zealand we were attacked, several times by hungry sharks. We had each others back that day as any good sailing crew should and I can't even imagine the horror if we didn't.

Shark Fight

Raw adventure at its finest, through their deep desire to accomplish, these guys planned an expedition and pulled off something incredible. Sailing the oceans with no experience to climb and highline the tallest Volcanic Stack in the World. A beautiful story about how people can accomplish their dreams by working together.

It was a pleasure to sit down and hear him talk with such depth and respect for sailing in the harshest climate on the planet.
