2nd: Jon Beardmore – The Galapagos Postman: Reconnecting the world one letter at a time.
Jon Beardmore is an adventurer, storyteller and accidental postman who spent a year travelling the world on a mission sparked by love, legacy and a handful of handwritten letters. Blending humour, heart and human connection, he explores what happens when you say yes to the unknown — and how a single letter can change everything.
The Galapagos Postman Challenge is an unforgettable tale of adventure, human connection, and purpose. After discovering the centuries‑old postbox on Isla Floreana — where sailors once left letters to be carried home by strangers — Jon set out torevive the tradition in a modern, global way. His mission: hand‑deliver 50 letters around the world.
