S1E28: Lost and Found - Sam Thiara on Storytelling, Traveling in India, and Rediscovering His Family History

EPISODE 28

In the final episode of Season 1 of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, we are joined by storyteller, adventurer, and author Sam Thiara. Sam, a British-born Canadian with parents from Fiji and grandparents from India, grew up feeling disconnected from his ancestral roots. Following a faded photograph - the sole clue to finding his grandfather’s village in India - Sam set off on an epic adventure of personal discovery to try to find his long-lost family history.
