Our Mission
To entertain and inspire

Be the change you want to see in the world ~ Mahatma Gandhi

You could say this was my personal mission statement before I ever heard it. While I was cycling across the country, my "crazy" journey put an amazing sparkle of curiousity and wonder into people's eyes. So before I embarked on my personal quest around the world on a bicycle, I figured why should I be the only one to share my adventure, so I founded The Argonauts:

An adventure-travel community dedicated to inspiring the human spirit by enabling people to venture into the unknown and sharing their dreams and discoveries with the world. 100% of profits donated to adventure and exploration.

That was our lofty mission statement.

When theArgonauts first come online in 1999, our vision was to give adventurers a forum to share their photos, maps and stories. However, we were over-ambitious and ahead of our time. Blogs didn’t even exist, and the programming required to match our vision would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and an extraordinary amount of work. Still we collected an impressive number of stories. Archive.

Though we don't have many resources we still like to dedicate inspirational blurbs about our fellow adventurers. And we offer the opportunity to anyone to help co-create and contribute to the Argonauts in any way mutually beneficial to furthering their own journey through life. Share Your Story. Visit our Featured Argonauts for some examples.

Thank you for supporting our/your dreams,
Scott and the team of volunteers at The Argonauts.
