In this episode, we speak with British adventurer and long-distance cyclist Pete Gostelow, whose solo bicycle journeys have taken him across more than 90 countries and over 160,000 kilometers. From Japan to the UK, and England to South Africa, Pete's travels are not only about covering distance but about embracing the world slowly, one pedal stroke at a time.

Pete shares stories from his major expeditions—including The Long Ride Home and The Big Africa Cycle—as well as the unexpected moments that shaped his adventures. We talk about the joys and solitude of solo travel, navigating border crossings, encountering kindness in unexpected places, and how travel has evolved in the age of smartphones and social media.

Whether you're a cyclist, traveler, or someone dreaming of taking the long road home, Pete’s reflections offer insight into what it means to step away from routine and discover the world on your own terms.
