Ep. 1000: Shifting From Global to Local Adventures - Alastair Humphreys

Ep. 1000: Shifting From Global to Local Adventures - Alastair Humphreys

Alastair Humphreys is a British adventurer and author who famously spent over 4 years cycling round the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and 5 continents. This was followed by a walk across India, rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, running six marathons through the Sahara desert, a crossing of Iceland, busking through Spain and an expedition in the Arctic.

Despite these massive adventures, Alastair is most famous for coining the concept of “microadventures” which earned him National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and numerous awards for his book of that name. The whole point of microadventures is that you do not need much time, money or specialized gear. A microadventure can be anything that feels fresh, new and challenging for you. This was the subject of our last conversation with Alastair back in 2019. You can listen to that here.

Today we’re talking about taking the concept of microadventures to a whole new level.

Most recently Alastair has spent a whole year exploring the land within 10 kilometers of his home. Every week, he would pick a new place within that range to explore and camp. The change and perspective shift that he experiences through this adventure has caused a massive shift in his outlook, which we’ll get into today.

Learn more about this experience through his new book, Local: A Search for Nearby Nature and Wilderness. You can also purchase Local here:

Ep. 620: Backcountry Foodie - Aaron Mayhew

For many of us an adventure is life-changing. In fact, it’s often a distinction between the life before and after that adventure which leaves many adventurers with the idea of a completely different lifestyle as well as career post-adventure.Today, we’re hearing form Aaron Mayhew about what it was like for her to experience a midlife crisis, decide to hike the PCT and wanting to take her dietitian skills out of a hospital setting, and into the backcountry. Starting a career around your passion for the outdoors isn’t easy, but with the right amount of dedication, knowledge, and hard work, you increase your chances of success dramatically. Her business is producing quick, easy, and nutritious recipes for backpackers and other adventurers. Her meals aren’t only for adventure athletes. They are also great for quick and nutritious meals you can have at home or have ready in your pantry for quick weekend getaways, work, etc. She joins us from her van in New Mexico after a day of hiking. backcountryfoodie.comIG: @backcountry_foodieFB: @backcountryfoodieYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSUpLNV2Ct1WQWZHhSF3eCwGet 25% off on their website at backcountryfoodie.com/friendsTry CS Instant Coffee for 10% off your first order!
