This week I am fortunate to be joined by yet another one of my exceedingly talented friends. Pedr is a Chemistry graduate and PhD student at the University of Oxford. Almost 3 years ago, Pedr set it upon himself to cycle till “east became west” and nearly completed a full circuit of the globe.
I think when I consider Pedr’s journey, like many others I am impressed but perhaps more so I am intrigued. Why a bike? What possesses an individual to do such a hard task? And what do you learn by cycling that far? In this episode, Pedr answers all these questions and discusses various themes from adversity, community, to fears of being alone, to connecting with nature, and his own theory of “relativity”.
Pedr’s drive and determination is inspirational. For him, the fear of not trying squashed any fears surrounding accomplishing his goals. Importantly, he recognises that you do not necessarily need to cycle through 46 countries to learn the things he has learnt. Moreover, he stresses the importance of engaging with your passions and pushing yourself outside your comfort zones are crucial for a fulfilling and happy life.
