The Mongol Rally: The Adventure of a Lifetime with Felix Mantz

Get the episode on iTunes

This summer, our friend Felix took part in one of the craziest “races” in the world. Driving from the U.K. all the way to Ulan-Ude in eastern Russia via Mongolia. It’s called the Mongol Rally.

Every year a few hundred people from around the world buy cheap cars in the U.K. and set off on the trip of a lifetime. And after listening to this, you may just be one of those people next year.

Going through daily grind tends to slowly sap the life out of you, and nothing counteracts the tedium like a BIG ASS ADVENTURE.

Travelling 17,000km, in 38 days, through 17 countries and collecting some amazing stories!

  • Being momentarily held at gunpoint
  • Getting stuck in a river as the car slowly flooded
  • Finding ways to fix a car after a crash in Turkmenistan
  • Playing backgammon, and getting to know locals all over Central Asia
  • and so many more!

We go beyond fun stories to touch on how adventure can impact your life, and how much more ALIVE you feel when you bust out of your normal routine.
