ABOUT ​

Sharing Adventure Stories

The Adventure Diaries Podcast brings your Authentic Stories of Adventure, Exploration and the Natural world. To inspire your next adventure, BIG or small.

I welcome you into a world of incredible conversations with truly remarkable adventurers, explorers, conservationists, content creators and those curious about our natural world.

The podcast navigates Adventure Storytelling, Exploration, Podcasting, Nature, Wildlife, Expedition and Adventure Travel topics.

You’ll find stories from micro adventurers all the way through to grand polar explorations, extreme world firsts, record breaking athletes and front line conservationists.

The show’s purpose is to entertain, educate and more importantly inspire you through the power of story – to go have your own incredible adventures (via a Call to Adventure in every episode).

We also hope to encourage you to support our communities, conservation efforts, and care for all that inhabit our planet (via a Pay It Forward suggestion in every episode)

About Me

I’m Chris Watson – the host of the Adventure Diaries Podcast.

I reside in Glasgow, Scotland, and I’m incredibly fortunate to have access to incredible wilderness, and waters and almost on my doorstep.

I spend a lot of time in the Scottish Highlands, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs national park and have quick access to the East & West Coasts of Scotland, which boasts some of the best Sea Kayaking and outdoor experiences in the world.

I’m a British & Scottish Canoe Scottish Canoe Association Certified (SCA) Paddle Sports Instructor, i also hold a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Powerboat license, and I’m simply an all-around adventure (outdoors, travel) geek.

I know the rewards of getting outside and exploring new adventures, and reconnecting with nature and loved ones are incredibly worthwhile and wonderfully therapeutic.

Hence the inception of the Adventure Diaries Podcast. I hope these stories, and the content posted across the blog, podcast, newsletter and Youtube channel serves to inspire and motivate you to get outdoors more often, and have your own unique adventurers.
