ADVENTURER SPEAKERS
The spirit of adventure was perhaps best captured during journalist and explorer Henry Stanley’s journey through Zanzibarin order to find Dr. David Livingston in 1871. Trekking through the unforgiving territory of the African landscape, Stanley underwent and then later wrote about an amazing adventure, all in pursuit of finding the doctor, who had been presumed to be missing.

However, the energy can be found in many adventure quests. Today, thrill seekers often create amazing journeys of their own in addition to practicing extreme sports in order to get the adrenaline rush that comes from living on the edge.

Further takes on the concept of adventure were advanced by famous fiction writer Ernest Hemingway, who famously tackled many African expedition and adventure islands, and surmounted many extreme challenges, only to later report his adventures to his world-wide audience through many of the most classic works of literature ever written.

Modern television shows like The Amazing Race also encapsulate the spirit of adventure that many admire, pitting pairs of adventurers against each other in a race around the world. The program has been one of the most popular reality television shows in history.
