Info autore

Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, author, speaker, and film maker. While at university, he cycled from Pakistan to China, Land's End to John O'Groats, Turkey to Italy, Mexico to Panama and across South America. Since then, he has cycled all the way around the world, raced a yacht across the Atlantic Ocean, canoed 500 miles down the Yukon River, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and walked the length of the holy Kaveri river in India. In 2011 Alastair decided to remain in the UK and encourage people to seek out adventure and wilderness closer to home, challenging themselves through microadventures.

He was chosen as one of National Geographic's Adventurers of the Year in 2012. Alastair lives in a village outside London with his wife and two young children (hence the microadventures!)
