After abandoning ship and being rescued at sea, Guinness World Record holder Tommy ‘Adventure Lord’ Robinson finds himself back in the hustle of everyday life. Once again his bags were packed after a message that came through “Maiwar has washed ashore”.

In true Robin Crusoe ‘Tommy Robinson’ fashion, Tom goes on another Adventure of a life time ‘Finding Maiwar’. 

Tom Robinson is a 25 year old adventurer and boatbuilder from Brisbane, Australia. In 2022, aged 23, Tom set off from Peru, in a boat he designed and built, on his most ambitious adventure yet - to become the youngest person ever to row the Pacific Ocean. For the next 14 months Tom experienced the highs and lows of extreme adventure, facing many challenges along the way. He spent a total of 265 days at sea in complete isolation, as well as many months living in harmony with the inhabitants of the remote islands he visited. The journey ended in a dramatic rescue off Vanuatu - Tom survived to tell the tale, break a world record, and share his story with you...

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
