EP-157 MICROADVENTURES AND THE ART OF CURIOSITY: Exploring the World with Alastair Humphreys


Listen Later

Welcome back to the 10 Adventures podcast! This week, I had an incredible chat with Alastair Humphreys, a true adventurer who's cycled around the world, walked across India, and rowed the Atlantic. Named National Geographic Adventure of the Year in 2012, Alastair has also championed microadventures and recently authored the book "Local," where he explores the 20-kilometer map around his home. It was a delight having Alastair on the podcast.

ย 

We dive into Alastair's evolving motivations over the 20 years of his adventures as he shares insights like the interesting contrasts between cycling the world solo and rowing the Atlantic with a team. His concept of microadventures encourages everyone to find small, achievable adventures in their daily lives, fostering a sense of exploration and curiosity. If you're intrigued, be sure to check out Alastair's website to learn more about his extraordinary journeys and his latest book "Local." Happy listening!
