Unmapped with Mike Kelly

“Unmapped is my next journey; a true passion project. It’s an opportunity to express my way of life and to give mavericks a platform to share the beauty of their lives. It’s easy to feel trapped in society but freedom is always available and for me, it was travel which showed me that.” 
Michael Kelly – Host

Unmapped is an exploration of the human desire for travel. Why do we travel? What do we learn from it? How does it enrich our experience of the world? What impact do our travels have on the rest of our lives? Mike speaks with pioneers, adventurists and trailblazers from around the planet, hearing their stories and unlocking the life secrets they’ve learned from their time on (and off) the beaten path.

Through Unmapped, Mike aims to utilise the power of his guest’s perspectives, travels and successes to inspire and motivate listeners to live their life in a way which fulfils them; be that inside the box or out of it. Life itself is an adventure and Unmapped draws out the explorer within.

Mike created Unmapped because he always believed a big part of what makes travel special are the people you meet on the journey and the things you share with them and learn from them.

The Host

Mike has spent most of his adult life blowing up any sense of security he has in order to venture into the unknown with an almost masochistic love for the open road. He actively seeks experiences which push boundaries, and has made a habit of becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Throughout his adventures, Mike has relied on a combination of slightly above average interpersonal skills, strange but fascinating ideas, an inconsistently dedicated work ethic, and a potent dose of dumb luck to stumble through life.

In his free time, he’s invariably on some journey or looking for the next experience. He also enjoys writing, climbing, yoga, meditating, reading and drinking craft beer.
