Summary

He's back!!! And he's just as entertaining, endearing, and enjoyable as ever. Alastair Humphreys, author, keynote speaker, adventurer, film maker and blogger joins us to talk about the five books he's written that you absolutely want to have on your shelves for your kids. Through his writing, he hides education within grand stories of adventures. You'll learn about Alastair's experiences traveling around the world and then walking through Spain with nothing but a violin that used to play and make money (even though he could hardly play the violin at all!) Take the first step. Go. Alastair implores us to break down our adventures into small bits and step out of comfort zone and live full lives. You'll learn what project Alastair has coming next, you'll hear me tear up a bit, and you'll listen to Al commiserate on how hard it is (even for a pro-adventurer) to get his own kids off screens and out the door. We even have a little book club chat near the end. This is one you may listen to twice and your kids will enjoy it, too! Subscribe and share with friends.

1:10.6	but it was right off the highway we'd never been there and it was a little hairy trying to fit in we only had an hour but we went anyway because of micro adventures and it was one of our most memorable things that we've done this year. And in fact, I have been more apt to slide the things in. We went looking for shark teeth. We chased a sunset on the ocean. These things that maybe normally I would not have done
1:35.1	because I felt like we didn't have enough time and they ended up being so memorable so thank you
1:40.5	oh that's brilliant yeah you never regret going for a wild swim. Sometimes you're not too sure before but you never regret it and I love that that you just squeezed it in on the way to somewhere else. I remember I was going to do a talk in the Netherlands somewhere just outside
1:57.8	Amsterdam and the taxi guy picked me up from an Amsterdam train station and was driving me there and we kept driving all over all these lovely canals as you do in the Netherlands.
