Adventure Saved me from Becoming an Aging, Balding Rocker

Jason Lewis is the first person to circumnavigate the Earth without using motors or sails: walking, cycling, and inline skating five continents, and kayaking, swimming, rowing, and pedalling a boat across the rivers, seas, and oceans. Taking thirteen years to complete, the 46,505-mile journey was hailed 'œthe last great first for circumnavigation' by the London Sunday Times. In other words, he's worth listening to if you are interested in adventure yourself...

When I set off on my first big adventure, I wanted it to be really long. I wanted it to be indefinitely long because I felt I needed that, and I wanted all the challenges, and I didn't really want to be able to see an end point. I wanted just to keep pushing myself and see what would happen. And I wanted it to be really cheap and miserable. I wanted not to be able to spend much money, and just to force myself into action in all sorts of senses.

Your future self, 40 years down the line, will hate you if you don't have the balls to live now.
