Author, Adventurer and motivational speaker Alastair Humphreys has gone from cycling the world, adventuring across India and rowing the Atlantic, to appreciating the micro-adventures available on our own doorsteps.
He's so enthusiastic about finding the adventure in small things, that he's written a book on it entitled Microadventures - along with many more books - including the Wainwright Prize for Nature - nominated Local: A Year Exploring a Single Map
Al is vegan for environmental reasons and admits that while the environment is important to him now, his younger self wouldn't have necessarily thought twice about hopping on a plane.
We talk about favourite adventures, running with friends - or rather, a lack of them, and how at one point he would never have even considered talking on a vegan podacast!
What's next for Al? That too is still a bit of a mystery, as he continues his writing, newsletters, speaking and social "influencing" while still very much deciding how his time is most worth-while being spent.
Adventures await.
