23. Overlanding as a Teenager with Cyrus Croft
The XOVERLAND Podcast
•
57m
Eldest son to Clay and Rachelle Croft, at seventeen, Cyrus Croft is the youngest member of the Expedition Overland team. First joining an expedition as a full XO team member for the filming of Alaska: The Last Frontier in the summer of 2021, Cyrus returned to join the team this past summer to head to Europe to shoot The Nordic Series.
Traveling for Nordic marked Cyrus’s first international experience as an overlander and expanded upon his team roles as driver, production assistant, and talent.
For a seventeen-year-old junior in high school, a 12-week long overlanding odyssey through Scandinavia is certainly a departure from the norm, and playing a key role on an XO production crew is a large responsibility.
Join us for the discussion, as Cyrus shares his rare perspective as a teenage overlander, what it’s like to manage school while overlanding abroad, his life within the Croft family, and his own hopes and dreams as a young overlander.
