Bikepack Adventures Podcast

In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I have the chance to sit back and talk adventuring with Kari Toftesund and Jonathan Labarre. As a trained psychotherapist with a passion for travel and learning about different cultures, it was a logical progression for Kari to combine adventure with mental and physical performance. Jonathan has been fortunate to develop many of the skills necessary for adventure success throughout his career in the army, sport shop management, firefighting and fire and first aid instruction.

Together, their mission as outdoor enthusiasts is to protect and preserve our planet as best they can. The climate and landscapes are changing quickly, and they feel it is their duty to take action by raising awareness about environmental issues, promoting and values of outdoor adventures, and by fostering the desire in others to spend more time outdoors.
