Distant Journeys

Watch a 4 min. Demo Video

by Daryl Hawk, The Unconventional Traveler
Explorer and international documentary photographer Daryl Hawk has spent the past 25 years adventuring alone in some of the most remote places on earth. Using his own exceptional photographs as examples, his dynamic presentations inspire his audiences to see the world with new eyes and learn to see the ordinary as extraordinary.Sharing his real life experiences and the lessons he has learned on his amazing journeys on the back roads of the world, he motivates audiences to live life with great passion, desire, focus, determination, perseverance and to have the courage to take the necessary steps towards reaching their goals. 

Throughout the presentation, Hawk makes insightful connections between these lessons and the challenges encountered everyday in the world around us. For Hawk, these great challenges have led to powerful experiences where positive thinking taught him to take a visionary look at opportunities and move beyond their limits. The presentation explores how each of us can define and develop the qualities of inner strength he calls “The Adventurous Heart”. The photographic journey starts at the top of the world in the Canadian Arctic and continues throughout all of North, Central and South America , Patagonia, New Zealand, Antarctica, and finally in the hidden away Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Hawk brings his audiences along with him for the visually stunning journey while providing a conceptual framework for personal creativity and vision, and the tools to turn that vision into action.

OUR CLIENTS SAY IT ALL...

“On behalf of the Harvard Travellers Club I want to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for your presentation of “Distant Journeys: Places Where Time Stands Still”. What a thoughtful and engaging presentation.

I’ve had so many members speak to me since the presentation saying things like, “wow that was just right”, or just superb, breathtaking photography; so many positive comments! I must say, at the outset, I was a little concerned about the number of images when we spoke and how this might work, you did a splendid job moving it along from beginning to end.

Your personal history intertwined in the story made it even more relevant for members and of course many recognized some of the images having travelled to those locations themselves.

I vey much appreciate your flexibility in rescheduling our evening due to the enormous snowstorm I am really glad we were all able to accommodate another date.

Thank you again, and we do hope that you will return for another presentation at some point in the future.”

“Daryl Hawk’s presentations are some of the highest rated and well attended lectures we have. I highly encourage you to have him speak to your group. His speaking skills are superb, his travel images are compelling, and storytelling unforgettable! He energizes our audiences because he understands them so well. Our members always look at the world a little differently after experiencing a Daryl Hawk program.”

Kevin O’Brien
Public Lectures Coordinator
The Explorers Club

“Daryl Hawk has been presenting at the AMC for almost 10 years. He has a large following that comes to see his shows and that has increased our audience numbers considerably. His audio visual presentations are always fresh and filled with extraordinary images that demonstrate his skill as a superb adventure photojournalist. Daryl really connects with the soul of nature, idigenous cultures, and farwaway places and conveys that spirit to audiences who can be heard ‘ooing’ and ‘ahhing’ throughout his performance. He passes on the message that life is precious in all forms and carries a message of hope, exuberance and life lessons to all who are lucky enough to be present. Your decision to have Daryl Hawk present to your group would indeed be a wise one!”
