Hunter Ahmad

Hunter pivoted from traditional sports journalism to travel content creation after a career-changing assignment covering kayaking at the 2008 Beijing Olympics rekindled his childhood passion for the sport. After years of stadium press boxes, he traded his press credentials for a backpack at 38, initially documenting off-the-beaten-path sporting venues but gradually expanding to adventure travel centered around waterways and traditional games. Now based in Japan after falling in love with its kayaking routes and hockey leagues, he's built a loyal following of midlife adventure seekers who appreciate his no-nonsense approach to accessible exploration.
