Ben Southall’s life is a story about the curious mind of a passionate leader and a talented entertainer who’s addicted to the challenge.
Ben is among the lucky dreamers who has managed to make a living doing exactly what he is outrageously passionate about: Adventure Travel. And I mean it: the fire in eyes, the contagious outburst of energy, the philosophical meaning behind every detail – the whole package.
Ben was “born to be wild”!
He has run marathons, climbed mountains, dived reefs around the world, ridden almost anything, and even lived months at Everest base camp. His positive spirit and adventurous mind brought him fame as a winner of the Best Job in the World in 2009 – as the Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef! His extraordinary expeditions have been recorded by giants like National Geographic and he films and produces documentaries for The Travel Channel.
These days Ben is building his community – “a cohort of like-minded souls, who relish the experience of stepping out their comfort zone, exploring new ground and living life to the full” – by sharing his passion for extreme travel with the world as an ‘Adventurepreneur’. A synthesis of Adventuring and Entrepreneurship, ‘Adventurepreneurism’ encourages innovative thinking throughout the journey
