I have five podcasts available to subscribe to, for free, on the podcast app of your choice or online.
- Living Adventurously. Back in my youth, my glory days, I spent 4 years cycling around the world. Ever since then I’ve been interested in the idea of Living Adventurously. But the definition of Living Adventurously differs for everyone. And it also changes over time, as our lives and circumstances change.
So I decided to get back on my bike and spend a month asking different people what living adventurously means to them…. - The Doorstep Mile. Would you like a more adventurous life? Are you being held back by a lack of time or money? By fear, indecision, or a feeling of being selfish or an imposter? Whether at work or home, taking the first step to begin a new venture is daunting. This is the Doorstep Mile, the hardest part of every journey.
- There Are Other Rivers. I walked across India, from the Coromandel Coast to the Malabar Coast, following the course of a holy river. Walking alone and spending the nights sleeping under the stars, in the homes of welcoming strangers or in small towns and villages, he experienced the dusty enchantment of ordinary, real India on the smallest of budgets. There Are Other Rivers tells the story of the walk through an account of a single day as well as reflecting on the allure of difficult journeys and the eternal appeal of the open road.
- Ask an Adventurer. ADVENTURE. Behind the Scenes. Making it Happen. Paying the Bills. Routines and Rituals. The Reality. Ready? Look past the shiny Instagram photos for a peek behind the scenes of the daily life of a ‘working adventurer’.
- Local. Do you yearn to connect with wildness and natural beauty more often?
Could your neighbourhood become a source of wonder and discovery and change the way you see the world?
Have you ever felt the call of adventure, only to realise that sometimes the most remarkable journeys unfold close to home?
After years of challenging expeditions all over the world, adventurer Alastair Humphreys spends a year exploring the small map around his own home.
Can this unassuming landscape, marked by the glow of city lights and the hum of busy roads, hold any surprises for the world traveller or satisfy his wanderlust? Could a single map provide a lifetime of exploration?
Just ordered your 2 notebooks going into lockdown 2021 I may have to think creatively ;) I’ve enjoyed many of your books in the past xx
Thank you!
I am a kayaker, camper and general ourdoor person and have been following micro-adventures for years but slowly finding my time (and mind) becoming more crowded. I have the skills and gear to “adventure” but not always the opportunity. The Living Adventurously podcasts have been a revelation, I am not alone! One concept has stuck with me, that adventure can be internal and is living at the edge of one’s comfort zone. Just that idea has re-framed my whole outlook on life, suddenly I feel the buzz and alive again! I am finding adventure in places I never expected.
Thank you! This is wonderful to hear.
found this through the bothies film….thank you
at 65 and not slowing down I have a reinvigorated desire to get to Scotland and take a wild walk….. and yes maybe alone.
In my ancient past I took the great adventures of walking alone in the Sahara and across the sudd and more…. it was huge
yet now as I adventure inward and in real perspectives become more outward I find a new and brilliant world…..
The title of the book “the God of Small Things” says it all..
Great to meet you out here on your journey……and delighted you have such a following…..
Blessings
