149: Solo Expedition on Rakiura and ADHD with Wild Boy Brando Yelavich
Description
Brando Yelavich AKA Wild Boy has spent the past decade chasing knowledge of the world and of himself through epic expeditions. He has walked the coastline of New Zealand, skied across Greenland, sea kayaked around Vancouver Island and cycled across Australia. He shares about his Solo Expedition on Rakiura Stewart Island to circumnavigate its rugged coastline. Brando shares what it was like to navigate wind–swept scrub, survive on minimal food, and celebrate his birthday alone. He talks about the turning point when he abandoned his original plan, chose curiosity over ego, and began exploring the island’s waterfalls, granite cliffs and subantarctic–like beaches. Brando reflects on ADHD, storytelling and the importance of doing adventures for the right reasons.
