This week is just a quick heads up on a podcast called Xperiential Education (www.xperiential.education).

I’ve been an outdoor education teacher for 24 years. I’ve planned and run activities across five states of Australia and the US. I’ve worked in coastal, remote, wilderness and alpine environments. Much of my work has been in risk assessment, risk management, operational management and just having some awesome adventures! I now work as a safety specialist trainer and reviewer for any program which leaves the school grounds. Get in touch with me :) www.xcursionsafety.com
