Every year the Adventure Travel Festival will feature speakers from various fields of study and exploration . Each speaker at the Adventure Travel Festival is an expert in their respective field and we're sure you'll benefit directly from their years of experience and knowledge.
Colin Angus completed the first human-powered circumnavigation of the world when in 2006 he cycled into Vancouver after 43,000 km of travel. During the course of two years he rowed across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, trekked and cycled through 16 countries, endured winter in Siberia and searing heat in the tropics.
Colin has made a career exploring remote parts of the world and sharing his adventures through bestselling books, films and presentations. He has navigated the Amazon and Yenisey Rivers from source to sea, sailed the South Pacific Ocean, and rowed thousands of km in waterways around the world. He has co-produced four documentaries which collectively won ten awards at international festivals including the Dijon and Telluride Festivals of Adventure Films. His work is published in numerous publications including the Globe and Mail, Reader’s Digest and Cruising World.
Outside Magazine listed Colin as one of the top 25 “bold visionaries with world changing dreams” for his work in promoting lifestyle changes to help the environment. Colin and Julie continue their efforts in promoting zero-emissions transportation as a healthy way to maintain a healthy world.
Kevin Callan, author and outdoor enthusiast (a.k.a. The Happy Camper), presentation will be an informative, entertaining and uplifting display on why we love wilderness so much — a reminder to some, and a reason for others, to head out and enjoy our time in nature. This is one hilarious presentation that shouldn't be missed. Visit His Website
