Traveling with purpose, impact, and intention | Dr. Daniel Grace | TEDxSwansea
Daniel explores how we can all travel with purpose, even in our daily lives. By approaching each interaction with curiosity, service, and reflection—whether at home or abroad—we can bring the mindset of meaningful exploration into the everyday. Dr. Daniel Grace shares his personal journey of purposeful travel—journeys that go far beyond sightseeing. Drawing from his work as an expedition doctor,"Daniel is a GP based in South Wales. With a keen interest in global health and expedition medicine, he has worked to provide medical cover all over the world, from the deserts of Jordan to the frozen Canadian arctic to remote islands in the West Pacific. He is proud to be the medical director for the UKs leading telemedicine charity, the Virtual Doctors, which connects remote healthcare workers in Zambia and Malawi with volunteer clinicians to improve patient access and empower rural communities. He enjoys empowering people of all ages to fulfil their potential in the outdoors and believes that adventure and travel can be harnessed not only to help us understand the challenges facing future generations, but also to explore our own sense of purpose.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
