Extreme adventure is what drives him from a record breaking trek on foot to the South Pole to running the length of the driest desert on earth - the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. Ray believes in the possible and started a foundation called Impossible to Possible. i2P brings his expeditions to classrooms, sharing his journeys and his lessons with kids in an interactive way. Zahab uses these experiences to inspire kids to see possibilities in their own lives.

Savilia Blunk is a professional cross country mountain biker who is striving to represent the USA. Growing up in the small town of Inverness, California, Savilia learned the importance of understanding where you come from, your surroundings, and how you have the power to change your environment for the better.

Join us as we chat with Alejo and Andrea about Living Hakuna. In 2016, just four months after getting married and buying their regular (brick and mortar) house, Alejo and Andrea decided to leave their full-time 9 – 5 jobs. The ‘traditional’ life simply wasn’t what they expected it would be. Back then they thought they were doing everything correctly; they went to college, got good jobs with health and retirement benefits, bought a house and had cars… It almost seemed like the perfect life. The only problem was that they didn’t have what they desired the most, TIME. Time to be together. Time to be with their dogs. Time to do what they love. Time to simply be happy. Since then they have chased the wind. Living on their catamaran and kiteboarding at some of the worlds most desirable locations.

Ben Cooke's primary pulse in this existence, is travel. Geographical, sure, but mainly of the mind. For many years, Ben has been lucky enough to see more of the world than most of my contemporaries. Its ability to inspire him, to stun him, to sadden him, to educate him, to show him love in all its heartbreaking forms, to conjure any number of emotions up within him, is what makes him tick. Ben feels it always will. He cannot imagine a life without the foreign, an unknown that incites change, ripples him with scars and colorful imprints. Curiosity has always won over a need for the familiar, the secure.  Indeed, security has always seemed to Ben to be the wrong reason for anything. In his mind, you want the blows to land. http://www.bencookephotography.com/

Greg Callaghan is Red Bull sponsored and Ireland’s number-one mountain bike rider. He is on a mission to win the Enduro World Series. In the space of a few years, Greg Callaghan has gone from living out of his customised van while self-funding his appearances at downhill mountain bike events to becoming Ireland’s only pro rider. Callaghan made a big on the professional circuit, finishing third overall in the Enduro World Series in October 2017 after scoring some impressive results during his debut season – including his first pro race win outside of Ireland, in Madeira, Portugal. “To get a win outside of Ireland and solidify myself as someone who's good all over the world and not just a hometown hero was a big step for me,” he says. “I don't want to be that guy that just wins at home and does OK everywhere else – I want to be the guy that can win anywhere.” That podium-topping performance in Portugal catapulted Callaghan to the top of the rankings for a brief time at the midway point of the season. Now he’s hungry for more success and he has his sights set on becoming the first Irish rider to win the Enduro World Series. Follow Greg here: https://www.facebook.com/greg.callaghan2
