In this Travel Adventure Special episode of the Fit for Business and Life Podcast, host Martin Sharp is joined by Co-Host and life enthusiast Dominic to unpack his recent South East Asia (Thailand & Malaysia) adventure. 🇹🇭 🇲🇾 Exploring stories from the trip that taught lessons around mindset, method and life that came with it.

Comment below for a part 2! 👇

Martin sets the scene by defining the difference between being a holiday maker, an adventurer, and an explorer, and Dom explains why he sees himself as an explorer driven by curiosity, culture, and the unknown. Travelling from Bangkok, around northern Thailand and down to the south to visit the islands and beaches, the conversation dives into what it really takes to travel with intention, adapt on the move, and stay aligned with your health, fitness and life goals while away from your normal routine. And how these lessons are analogous to those learnt in the corporate environment.

Dom shares honest reflections on planning versus flexibility, how travel changes when you’re travelling as a couple, and why adaptability when your schedule is unpredictable is important. They also explore the real physical impact of travel stress, how adrenaline affects decision making, and how movement, recovery and nutrition can be managed with awareness.

In this episode, we cover:

🎙️ Holiday Maker vs Adventurer vs Explorer

🎙️ The value of planning, structure and communication

🎙️ Why “go with the flow” can create chaos without a loose framework

🎙️ Staying active without obsessing over routine or progress

🎙️ Sustaining fitness through travel using adaptable training and recovery
