Description

In this inspiring episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Alastair Humphreys to explore how to break free from the constraints of everyday life and embrace adventure in meaningful ways. Alastair shares his insights into the barriers that often stand in our way—like money and time—and dismantles the myths that adventures have to be expensive or extravagant. From setting up a simple adventure fund to savoring the benefits of traveling cheap, Alastair highlights how small, intentional steps can lead to extraordinary experiences. Whether it’s camping close to home or embarking on a low-budget global trek, he emphasizes that adventure is more about mindset than resources.

The conversation is packed with wisdom, humor, and practical advice for anyone looking to enrich their life. Alastair reflects on how cheap adventures offer a unique perspective on gratitude, the fleeting nature of time, and the richness of life’s experiences. With anecdotes of walking, biking, and even wild camping, he invites listeners to think differently about what’s possible with what they already have. This episode is a powerful reminder that life is ticking by, and the best adventures are often within reach when we choose to do more with the life we’ve been given.
