Step Outside Your "Comfort Zone" with Host Kinga Philipps 

NEW YORK, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A dad in Savannah gets e-foiling lessons. A double amputee in Albuquerque embraces kayaking and mountain biking. And in Cincinnati, a military retiree and single mother is brought along for surfing lessons and shark-tooth hunting, while another woman, battling MS, tries her hand at extreme tree climbing and sky diving.

What would you do if someone were to invite you along for adventures like these … for the first time?

Outdoor enthusiasts and others will be able to find out beginning August 1 when Season Three of "Finding Adventure" launches on the Very Local app, available to stream for free on all mobile, tablet and connected TV devices.

Host Kinga Philipps, ocean conservationist, thrill seeker and first ever female host of "Shark Week" travels to locations around the country, taking local residents along with her for "the coolest, most breathtaking and heart-pounding experiences." Philipps serves as expert and mentor taking participants and viewers "out of their comfort zones" to experience incredible outdoor adventures right in their own backyards. Along the way, she challenges each guest to learn how stepping outside of the norm can be scary, but ultimately amazing and transformative.

"I am so thrilled to be back for Season 3; we are meeting new people, traveling to new destinations and providing transformative experiences that ignite a sense of curiosity, connection and personal growth," Philipps said. "Each individual's journey looks a bit different, and the destination is never the same -- but that is what makes this show so special."

Seasons One and Two of the upbeat and aspirational 30-minute show took viewers to Sacramento, CA; Portland, ME; Kansas City, MO; New Orleans, LA; Orlando, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; Louisville, KY; Greenville, SC; Milwaukee, WI; Manchester, NH; and Albuquerque, NM.

For Season Three, Philipps brings the show for the first time ever to Cincinnati, OH, and Savannah, GA, with return visits to Albuquerque and Manchester.
