Ep. 747: Climbing in North Korea, Nepal & Siberia - Revisited - George Kourounis

Sometimes our adventure is about so much more than our desire to fulfill our dreams. For Tom Knox's parents, driving the length of the US west coast was always something they wanted to do. However, due to cancer and Alzheimer's, that dream remained unfulfilled when they died. In an effort to carry on the adventurous spirit of his parents, Tom decided he would bike the route in remembrance of them and in an effort to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's. Tom is a normal guy, taking precious PTO in order to make this adventure happen. We caught up with him a few weeks before he left.

With any adventure, finances have to be part of the planning. That planning can begin months or years before the adventure even begins. Some folks decide to put it all on a credit card. Others knock on the door of hundreds of potential sponsors to pay for their trips while others just decide to suffer immensely on the adventure because of lack of funds (been there, done that).  Doesn't it make more sense to build a frugal and thoughtful lifestyle that allows adventures to be more realistic, more often? Chris Mamula joins us today to talk about some very easy and key steps that anyone can do to help make adventures more possible in their lives. Chris is an avid adventurer and has achieved financial independence and decided to retire from physical therapy at age 41, giving him years of possible adventures for him and his family.  His blog: www.caniretireyet.com My upcoming book: (October 1, 2019) www.choosefi.com/book     Athletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.

Have you ever wondered what goes into a hiking guidebook? Well, it was a lot more time, energy, and hiking than I thought.

Travis said he'll never forget that feeling of sitting in the car with his wife, Fiona, after the pediatricians diagnosed their son, Patch, with autism at 21-months-old. They thought their life of adventuring around the world was over. However, in time, the family has learned to do some pretty epic stuff, like ride a bicycle 5,600 km across the US. Travis contributes their ability to continue adventures to their relentless pursuit of putting every single situation into a positive light.  Their podcast here: The Parenting Spectrum   Facebook: @schooloftheroad     Athletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.

Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, author, and motivational speaker. His first big adventure was completing a four-year bicycle journey around the world that consisted of 46,000 miles cycling and changed his life forever. After the trip, he popularized the idea of microadventures - short, local, accessible adventures for the average person.  This idea helped him achieve becoming a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2012.  Alastair is a huge inspiration of mine and I hope you enjoy our conversation about life, parenting, and the delicate balance between normal life and pursuing adventure.  New book: https://www.alastairhumphreys.com/adventures/as-i-walked-one-midsummer-morning/   www.alastairhumphreys.com   Instagram: @AL_HUMPHREYS Photo credit here.   Athletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.
