Australian Desert Forges New Rider - Benji Brundin

Show Notes

A few years ago Benji Brundin went through some major life changes, including losing his dream career and his wife, and decided that the best course of action was to break from conventional life. So, leaving his past behind, challenging his fears and limitations he bought a van and outfitted it for adventure, then headed out to circumnavigate Australia with a dirt bike strapped to the back. Although he had never ridden a motorcycle before, adventure riding has now become Benji’s focus, and has led to him discovering a passion of riding in sand and ultimately crossing all ten deserts in Australia. He’s been travelling solo and unsupported, and had some amazing experiences with wildlife and in the outdoors culminating in a book about his adventures called Hunting Fear.
