Laid-off from his job during his grievance leave from his father’s passing, Ed asked himself, now what? Do I really want to go back to the same old thing, or should I explore something new? The Explorers is the inspirational journey of Ed Smith, an IT professional who arrived at a personal and professional crossroads and traded the comfort and familiarity of his life to pursue unchartered territories.
Along this nine-week road trip around the United States, Ed takes you to small towns, old museums, battlefields, and long drives on quiet roads through the countryside.
With the vastness and often emptiness of the open road as his companion, he discovers life as an explorer, how to open up to a new experiences every hour of every day.
In his mid-fifties, this trip taught him even as an older person how to overcome the fear of change, to accept the risks that follow, and to step off into a entire new life of adventures.
