This episode is about the explorer archetype The Voyager. The Voyager is very much like an adventurer in the way they challenge themselves physically. But the adventurer often sets out alone to test his or her limits and this is where the two differs.  The kinds of challenges a voyager take on are more like missions or bigger projects like finding new continents or landing on the moon. They travel to explore hostile environments and must bring with them everything needed for survival.  And in this sense a diver is a voyager.   We meet Jill Heinerth, an experienced cave diver and Explorer in Residence for the Royal Canadian National Geographics society. When she was a little girl she dreamed of being an explorer and today she is! We talked about what it is she explores under the surface, taking big risks, how she works with scientists as a diver, the environmental changes she see in the arctic areas and how important water is for all of us. There is also a bonus episode where …

In this episode we take a look at the adventurer. This is the type of person who typically travel and explores the physical world. Either to discover new unknown places or to travel to already known places but in new ways. It is a person who wants an extraordinary life. The adventurer wants to challenge him or her self and push physical and mental limits. This is what the Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl did in 1946 when he sailed on a balsa wood raft from Peru on the western coast of South America to the Polyneesian Islands in the Pacific ocean. I visited the Kon-Tiki museum in Oslo Norway and met Reidar Solsvik, curator at the museum, who told me more about Thor Heyerdahl and what made him this archetypical adventurer.

 We kick off this Explorer theme for real with the Scientist archetype who with her structured approach investigates and dives deep into a topic. Not all researchers are explorers and you can be a scientific explorer without having a formal doctoral degree. It’s all about your mindset and willingness to think for yourself. I made a visit to Stockholm and the Nobel Center to find out more about some of the greatest scientists. I met Gustav Källstrand who is an historian of ideas and work at the Nobel Center. I met him at their beautiful office in the center of Stockholm, and we came to about curiosity, ideas, what motivates a scientist and the feeling when you realize you’ve discovered things no one has ever seen before and the importance of intuition.
