The typical audience is made up of casual enthusiasts seeking ideas and inspiration for their next adventure along with “armchair” adventurers who live vicariously through your stories with a handful of hardcore adventurers and everything in between mixed in. People love to hear the trials and tribulations, highs and lows, agony and celebrations of your adventure.
