EP62: Riaan Manser ↣ Notes From a Record-Breaking Explorer: Kidnappings, Landmines & Ocean Squalls
Episode 62
Monday, 23 June, 2025

Today we are sitting down with writer and modern day explorer Riaan Manser. His adventurous journey began the day he decided to quit his job and go for a bike ride... around the entire continent of Africa. This was done without backup, and before personal gps and smartphones were in public circulation. Since that day Riaan has become the holder of numerous world records, having ridden the 42000km around Africa, been the first to lap the islands of Madegascar and Iceland in his kayak, and rowed from Morocco to New York in a 18ft row boat. All this to say having survived through landmines, multiple kidnappings, wild ocean storms, starvation and extreme dehydration — Riaan has a story or two to share with us today.Once again a huge thankyou to Riaan for sharing his time with us!Check out his books and adventures at Riaanmanser.comAnd give him a follow on Instagram and Facebook!-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.
