Discover Life-Changing Travel and Get Lost on Purpose with Wayfinder | Featuring Daniel Scheffler | Up+Adam

Up+Adam March 20, 2026 Sponsored by Portabidet

What if the best parts of travel aren’t the ones you plan… but the ones that completely unravel the plan?

On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with Daniel Scheffler, host of Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel, to explore what it really means to move through the world with curiosity, instinct, and openness. From a childhood moment of loss that quietly shaped his lifelong pursuit of meaning, to getting stranded in unexpected places and turning those detours into connection, Daniel shares why the “blunders” often become the most beautiful parts of the journey.

They get into redefining luxury as space, time, and freedom… how putting your phone away can lead to your most meaningful experiences… and why a simple coffee shop can unlock the soul of a city. The conversation also turns local, as Adam invites Daniel to reflect on California’s Central Coast, world-class wine country, and what truly makes a destination feel alive. This is not about checking boxes. This is about feeling something real.
