5 Lessons From The Odyssey For Modern-Day Adventurers

Adventure On Deck

Have you ever read a book that feels like it was written for the exact moment you’re living?

That’s how I felt when I read Homer’s Odyssey during our last trip to St. Thomas this year. The story of the epic, 20-year journey home has stuck with me, and I couldn’t help but see the parallels to our adventures aboard Abide.

That’s why in this episode, I’m sharing 5 of these parallels that we’ve learnt from. If you haven’t read The Odyssey - don’t worry, I’ll give you some context. And either way, if you’re planning an adventure of your own, there’s something to learn here.

We may not have ended up getting on Poseidon’s bad side - but there have definitely been some unexpected challenges!

In this episode, I share:

• 5 ways our adventure mirrors Homer’s Odyssey.
• How the realities of our trip differed from our expectations.
• The sirens (or distractions) we’ve had to resist along the way.
• Why “home” looks so different after spending time at sea.
• Lessons that you can bring to your own adventures.
