Another new person! Aaron and I met on the pod. How I found him is serendipitous as well as topical. Who's Aaron? Just my new travel buddy. I might never stop saying "Brian May! Brian May!"
Here's what he says in his own words:
"Host Aaron Millar is an award-winning travel writer, journalist and author. He contributes regularly to The Times of London, National Geographic Traveller (UK), and many other national and international publications. He has presented travel documentaries for National Geographic TV, written two books for London publisher Icon - 50 Greatest Wonders of the World & 50 Greatest National Parks of the World - and is the 2014 and 2017 British Guild of Travel Writers Travel Writer of the Year. Aaron grew up in Brighton, England but is currently hiding out in the Rocky Mountains of Louisville, Colorado. He hates rom-coms, shellfish and gin; he loves sci-fi, sushi and tequila. Like travel? We'll get on well.
The Armchair Explorer podcast is adventure storytelling set to music and cinematic effects. Each episode one of the world's greatest adventurers tell their best story from the road."

Aaron inspired me to add my first ever sound effect to a podcast. It might not be my last cause Simon Drabble did such a great job. Thanks Hun!!! (To those not clear, it is the record scratch/ the world abruptly stopping sound.)
FYI the London Times Galactic article is behind a paywall. Sorry! But you can read another article by Aaron on the matter here: https://www.thebluedotperspective.com/connection/tenerife-stargazing/

I'm ashamed I couldn't think of Chris McCandless' name during the episode so here's one of his fave quotes and the final photo of him.
