10 no bullsh*t ways to live a more interesting life

58 min•11 april 2023

Alastair Humphreys is the author of my all-time favourite books on the topic of adventure and getting more out of life.


He was awarded the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year award for his work. He cycled around the world over four years and has since rowed the Atlantic, ran the Marathon de Sables, and walked across India amongst numerous other adventures.


Perhaps his greatest success, however, is pioneering the concept of micro-adventures, encouraging anyone to experience the outdoors and thrillseeking within an hour of their doorstep.
