Alastair Humphreys is a British Adventurer, Author and Blogger. He spent over 4 years cycling round the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and 5 continents. He also pioneered the concept of 'microadventures', trying to encourage people to get outside, get out of their comfort zone, go somewhere they’ve never been.
