Dr. Kate Leeming isn’t just an accomplished explorer; she’s also a passionate advocate for sustainability and education.
You might know her from her groundbreaking cycling expeditions across some of the toughest terrains on Earth—think Russia, Antarctica, Africa, and of course, Australia. What sets Kate apart though, is her deep commitment to inspire the next generation. She uses her adventures to shine a light on critical environmental issues and to rally for urgent climate action.
But there’s more. Kate is also deeply invested in improving prospects for female education, especially in some of the poorest regions of the world. She actively supports initiatives that empower girls through education because she sees it as a vital way to enhance community well-being and promote sustainable development.
So, join me as we dive into her incredible stories of exploration, including the ups and downs she’s faced along the way. Plus, we’ll lift the veil on her upcoming expedition into Central Asia, which has the thrilling promise of a world-first geographic discovery.

#8 Preparing to overland with Reece Rheinbach
Thursday Dec 19, 2024
Thursday Dec 19, 2024
Reece Rheinbach joins me again after a fairly long stint in his second home, Mexico.
Reece is back in Europe and preparing to embark on an exciting off-road tour all the way around the Iberian Peninsula.
Now, if you listened to our first podcast together, you’ll remember that Reece successfully drove 1.000 miles Offroad in Wales earlier this year. And boy, did he have a few issues along the way.
Well, he’s using that hard earned experience to improve his rig and gear. In theory, Reece should be heading to the ferry about now, but guess what! He’s still in the throes of reassembling the Toyota.
