About this episode
When a last-minute invitation took Matt Wilson to Iceland to document climate change and adventure tourism, it started out as a typical outdoor adventure. He met a backcountry guide, rode “super jeeps” across rivers, and climbed a glacier at midnight. However, while sitting with new friends above the clouds admiring volcano peaks in the distance he also hatched the idea that became his future business.Guest: Matt WilsonCo-founder & CEO, Under30ExperiencesAuthor of The Millennial Travel GuidebookLongtime digital nomad; based in Puerto RicoTopics Covered:New York grind to unexpected Iceland inviteMeeting Siggi and exploring Iceland’s backcountrySuper jeeps, river crossings, and glacier sunsetsSeeing climate change at the glacier’s edgeThe mountaintop brainstorm that sparked Under30ExperiencesStartup Iceland, the U.S. Embassy, and the President’s houseFrom one retreat to a global travel communityWhat’s next: new trips and building impact through travelResources and Links:Under30Experiences: under30experiences.comCall to Action:Check out our website at oneofftravelstories.comIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.Share your favorite travel stories with us on social media using #OneOffTravelStories.
