English adventurer Oli France has a dream.
As we’ve learned on Travel Tales many times, it’s often dreams that propel people to travel in the first place. But Oli’s dream would leave most people shaking their heads in disbelief.
Oli’s dream? Travel from the lowest to highest points on each continent using only human power.
He’s already achieved his goal on three continents: eventually standing atop Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mt. Aconcagua in South America, and Denali in North America.
When we met, Oli was giving presentations on his adventures to cruise ship passengers in Denali’s home state of Alaska, albeit under much more comfortable circumstances than his first visit there. No dodging bears at the buffet!
Along with the threat of dangerous wildlife, Oli battled extreme temperatures, exhaustion, loneliness, hunger, police, border crossings, and anything else that could be thrown his way.
Sit back and listen to Tales from a true adventurer.
Thanks, Oli!
