One day, 24-year-old Alastair Humphreys set off on a journey around the world by bike. 1 But somehow he managed to cycle the length of Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe (again) to complete his four-year journey. He had some challenges along the way, but most of them were in his mind: missing his friends and family and being alone for so long. 2 Since his round-the-world trip, Alastair has kept moving. Some of his other adventures involved rowing a boat across the Atlantic and crossing India on foot. 3 Alastair invented the idea of a microadventure – an adventure you can complete close to your own home. For example, why not walk around your whole city and take a beautiful photo in every street? 4 Alternatively, you might find a (fairly) wild place close to your home and spend the night under the stars. So grab your rucksack and go on a microadventure today. What are you waiting for? THE ADVENTURES OF ALASTAIR HUMPHREYS d f a c
