Accomplished Writer and Adventurer Alastair Humphreys shares his insights and experiences from over two decades of exploration. From his four-year journey cycling around the world, to busking his way across Spain, to championing the concept of microadventures, Alastair has inspired countless people to embark on their own adventures.
In this episode, Alastair talks candidly about the emotional highs and lows of adventuring, the challenges of returning to normal life, and the importance of mental health specifically when dealing with post-adventure blues. While his impressive Grand Adventure CV speaks for itself, Alastair has also shown the value of taking local adventures. He believes the thrill of grand journeys can be found in smaller experiences, such as ‘spending a night sleeping on a local hill.’
We reflect on how seeking beauty and excitement close to home can fill the void left by big adventures, while also sparking a deeper commitment to advocating for our local environments. As Alastair shares, ‘Think global, act local.’
