Alastair Humphreys talks about adventure... and coming home again
Aug 6, 202300:54:59Tap to summarizeAlastair Humphreys talks to us about Travel, Adventure, and coming home again.Discover:- How he cycled around the world... with just one map per continent- How he rowed across the Atlantic... without any socks- What's the most lost he's ever been- What he misses most when he's away from home- Why he quit flying- And why he's trying to rant more these days- “The impossibility of running away from ourselves”“How can we still have adventures and live adventurously without wrecking the places we purport to love?”“I probably gave it about 10 seconds thought… I had no idea that I’d spend the next 13 years talking about Microadventures”“I find coming home hard, and the remedy for that is usually to go away again”“I’ve often thought that going away to cycle around the world was the best thing I’ve done in terms of having an interesting life, but I’m not sure it is the route to having a contented or happy life”“You wear clothes that don’t stink”“I still find being home really hard. I find it really boring and frustrating and mundane and tedious. Whilst at the same time realising that it is far more deeper and more important and meaningful than on a silly little adventure” “I’ve spent years cycling across continents, yet there are places five miles from my front door that I’ve never been to in my life. That struck me as madness.” This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit 33rides.substack.com
