In conversation with William Allen from National Geographic Traveller
The Sunday Show
Sunday, 18 January 2026 - 42 minutes
On this evening's The Sunday Show, Ed is in conversation with William Allen from National Geographic Traveller for a brilliant, story-packed conversation about what real adventure looks like today.
William has travelled extensively and often in extraordinary ways — cycling from the UK to Sicily, riding around Iceland, motorbiking through Kenya and Uganda, and taking the epic train journey from Moscow to Hong Kong, where things got particularly hairy in the restaurant carriage. Along the way, he’s stood up for two days on a train across China, shared dinner with the richest man in Tajikistan on a surreal work trip, and more recently, driven the iconic Route 66.
What makes this episode special is William’s refreshing take on adventure. It doesn’t have to be extreme or remote — adventure is everywhere, if you’re open to it. A fast-moving, humourous and inspiring listen, packed with unforgettable travel stories and a fresh perspective.
