INTRO TO EXPLORATE:

Ever felt so curious about a part of the world that you could hardly wait to explore it? All my life, I've been supremely curious about history and nature: animals, diversity, unique cultures, and the questions which evade our easy understanding.

​

"Exploration is curiosity put into action."
– John Walsh, explorer and oceanographer

​

Growing up as a child, I would pore over my field guides time and again, mesmerized by the seemingly endless variety of lizards, insects, birds, and other animals. Globes and maps adorned our living spaces. An epic human history timeline dominated the entire family room wall, a centerpiece in our home and in my mind.

My name is Austin Youngquist, explorer, and today I invite you to discover with me the interesting places, people, causes, heroes, creatures, and stories of earth—in a way that transforms and deepens our understanding of this extraordinary world we indwell. Enjoy written content, photos, videos, and podcasts that all focus on these themes. In addition, I seek out worthy causes around the world and those heroes on the ground making a long-term difference. One recent example is Pastor Wendy Philippe who helps provide food and much-needed supplies to the elderly in hurricane-ravaged parts of Great Abaco in The Bahamas. At least 10% of subscription and sponsorship income from Explorate goes to help champion causes and charities like this!

Providing food and supplies to the elderly

DiscipleShip and Austin teamed up with Pastor Wendy Philippe (right) to provide food and supplies to the elderly in The Bahamas. Ask us how you can help too!

Thanks to the generosity and support of friends, family, and my local community, I've participated in numerous adventures. These include two archaeological digs in the Holy Land (one exploring the cliffs in Qumran for new Dead Sea Scrolls, and one excavating beneath the Old City of Jerusalem which produced Byzantine potsherds dating as early as 325 A.D.)! I've trodden the sands of the Arabian Desert and sailed the Sea of Abaco, diving and spearing fish at uncharted shipwrecks. Naturally I can hardly help but share my experiences. It's time to do so formally—and in a (hopefully) profitable way that unlocks new expeditions!

 

"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

– John A. Shedd
