We have a really aggressive travel schedule at 'Expedition Unknown.' We spend a lot of time out of the country and we spend most of the time that we are back either preparing for the next expedition or writing, editing and getting shows ready to air. It really is a year-round lifestyle.
Quote examples
Edmund Hillary
New Zealander Explorer
Good planning is important. I've also regarded a sense of humor as one of the most important things on a big expedition. When you're in a difficult or dangerous situation, or when you're depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension.

My space expedition has changed my perspective towards people. Looking down at the Earth, we could not see borders or people with different nationalities. It was then that realisation dawned on us that all of us are a group of human beings and citizens of the universe.
Quote examples
Jared Isaacman
American Businessman
I've been fortunate throughout many moments in my career, and whether that was traveling to Antarctica just a year ago on a mountain-climbing expedition or flying in air shows or world-record flights. These are all significant moments that I try to reflect on.

George Washington
American President

Quote examples
Reinhold Messner
Italian Explorer
I am not made for lonely expeditions. In the sixties, I climbed during the day so I wouldn't have to be alone. I finally learned to stay up for weeks in the high altitude all by my own without being afraid.

I've been doing expeditions for a living for more than 20 years and know all about what you have to go through psychologically to separate yourself from the modern world.

I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!
