Jonathan Legg is a veteran adventure traveller and TV host & producer, having hosted 5 seasons of Road Less Travelled, exploring off-the beaten-path destinations worldwide. He recently published his first book, The 7 AHAs Every Traveller Should Have. He says that many people are travelling the wrong way and losing a chance at self-growth.

We discuss the many ways travelling can provide opportunities for self-growth, exploring topics such as what it means to be "well travelled", the difference between the travel literature of the past and the current era of social media, and how travellers can slow down and listen to gain a deeper understanding. We also explore concepts of mortality and personal development, discussing how cultures have dealt with mortality throughout history and how travellers can gain courage and kindness through their experiences. We also discuss his book about the seven AHA moments that a traveller must have in order to gain a deeper understanding when travelling.   [A.I.
