Adventures in Namibia and Insights from Richard Giordano of Desk To Glory

Join Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady and Richard Giordano as they travel across the deserts of Namibia while discussing Richard's journey from a small town in British Columbia to becoming an experienced overlander and professional in the industry. Discover the trials and triumphs of long-term travel, managing work-life balance on the road, and the evolution of Desk to Glory's vehicles and gear. With insights into Central Asia, the realities of overlanding, and personal anecdotes from their travels, this episode is packed with valuable information for adventurers and overlanding enthusiasts alike. Richard Giordano completed a 48,800-kilometer overland journey from Vancouver, Canada, to Ushuaia, Argentina, with his wife, Ashley, in their well-loved but antiquated 1990 Toyota Pickup. On the zig-zag route south, they hiked craggy peaks in the Andes, discovered diverse cultures in 15 different countries, and filled their tummies with spicy ceviche, Baja fish tacos, and Argentinian Malbec. That trip catapulted Richard into a career as a freelance video producer, photographer, and writer. He has created commercials for Toyota Canada, was the lead photographer for Expedition Overland, and is always itching to hit the road and share his own adventures. If you see Richard out in the wild, he’ll most likely have a coffee in one hand and a camera in the other. @desktoglorySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
