In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Shaun Monk, the tourism guide for Island Hills Station in New Zealand. He is an expert in adventure survival. Shaun has dedicated his life to exploring the rugged beauty of New Zealand and helping others connect with nature in profound and transformative ways.

Last December, I had the incredible opportunity to embark on an adventure survival mission in New Zealand, guided by Shaun himself. From navigating dense forests to learning essential survival skills, it was an unforgettable experience that tested my limits and deepened my appreciation for the wild.

In this episode, Shaun shares:

• His upbringing without any power at his home.
• University and a 26-year corporate career!
• Insights into survival training and why reconnecting with nature is so vital in today’s fast-paced world.
• Highlights from our December mission—the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the moments that made it truly special.
• Practical tips for anyone looking to embrace outdoor adventures and step out of their comfort zone.

Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or someone curious about exploring the great outdoors, this conversation is packed with inspiration, actionable advice, and a few laughs along the way. Shaun’s passion for the wild is contagious, and his wisdom might just ignite your next adventure!

Shaun also chats with the other participants on the awesome trip put together by PAREA in this chat - I highly encourage if you want to go on an epic adventure to connect with - https://www.joinparea.com/apply
