“We were treated very much like guests and not at all like people that were being kidnapped, even though technically that’s what you could call it.”
Today I am joined with the world renown adventurer and expedition leader, Ben Stookesberry. Ben has been on the search for adventure for the past couple decades, with well over 100 first descents in 15+ different countries. We get to dive deep into Ben’s latest expedition to the El Guayas in Columbia, as Ben tells all about the epic whitewater that his team found as well as his story of being detained by the local natives. Ben is an eternal optimist and somehow finds adventure where ever he goes. Ben definitely drops a ton of nuggets of gold while telling of his incredible adventures and this is one episode you will definitely want to hear. At the end of the episode Ben has some simple takeaways a he encourages us all to do what we can to help do our part to protect our rivers and the wild places left on our planet.
