orld cycling and microadventures: Alastair Humphreys' life-changing 46,000-mile, four-year bicycle journey around the world, popularizing microadventures for accessible local exploration, earning National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2012, and sharing insights on balancing normal life, parenting, and adventure. Originally aired June 28, 2019 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 of 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.
