Michael Bennett is the Co-Founder of The Transformational Travel Council (2016) Explorer X (2017).

Once described as “a disarmingly earnest combination of spiritual guru and travel agent with a strange obsession with Joseph Campbell,” Michael is a seasoned traveller, speaker, consultant, educator, and entrepreneur who has dedicated his life to inspiring, guiding, and supporting others in becoming the Hērō of their own story. He believes that through travel, we all embark on our own Hero’s Journey of exploration, discovery, learning, and growth and that doing so unleashes our creativity, cultivates our curiosity, and invites us to live healthier, more intentional, and more courageous lives.

Michael is a recognised thought-leader in the travel industry and has been quoted in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, Skift, Shape, Vox.com, USAToday, and Seattle Met among other publications.
