Welcome to another action-packed episode of the OpenWorld podcast! If you’re stricken by a sense of wanderlust and looking for inspiration, you’re in exactly the right place! In this episode I’m by Matt Prior, a Briton based in Hong Kong. Matt is someone who truly takes adventure to a new level.
He is a world record holder for the Highest Altitude Reached by a Taxi – 17,143ft. A former fighter jet pilot, an adventurer, and photographer. He recently just completed the world’s first circumnavigation of Lake Baikal, in winter, on the ice, in a WWII era motorbike.
A member of the prestigious Explorers Club, his past endeavors have included circumnavigating Lake Baikal on a WWII-era Russian motorbike, traveling across Sri Lanka in a rickshaw, and even participating in a Guinness World Record-setting taxi journey at 17,143 feet.
Prior’s first real adventure began almost a decade ago, when he and a friend drove from London to Mongolia and back in a $180 1.0L car.
He’s also created Matt Prior Adventure Academy, a one-week course that teaches people how to conquer and enjoy extreme travel experiences. He exposes travelers to the joy of traveling off the beaten path.
