Meet Olly: An Adventurer with Plenty to Write Home About
Olly Gaspar is a travel blogger, photographer, and adventurer who has spent the past six years seeing as much of the world as possible. Born with an innate curiosity and a desire to explore the uncharted, Olly's journey as a “Digital Nomad” is fuelled by his relentless pursuit of raw travel experiences.
In 2018, he packed up his conventional life in Australia and set out on a quest to see the world with his partner Haylea, seeking the most breathtaking destinations that aligned with their passion for raw travel.
They didn’t have a lot of savings or a trust fund, but they made their dream of full-time travel happen anyway. They found online work wherever possible, teaching English and taking photos for tour companies and hotels to fund their travels.
From the lush jungles of Southeast Asia to the stunning coastal landscapes of Europe, together they have travelled to over 50 countries across 6 continents so far.
Passionate about exploring the unknown, Olly has ventured to some of the world's most remarkable places. He has mapped out new hiking trails in Nepal, fought in Muay Thai in Thailand, sailed the east coast of Australia in a homebuilt sailboat, and trekked with Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. Last year, together with his friends Jessy and Ryan, he cycled 2,500 km through the Arctic Circle to raise over $10,000 for the Fred Hollows Foundation.
His adventures are not just about ticking places off a list but about immersing himself in the culture of each destination, connecting with the locals, and challenging himself to experience as much as possible. Whether he's hiking across rugged mountains, diving into the depths of the ocean, or navigating dense forests, Olly's experiences are as diverse as they are thrilling.
