Cold Water, Rocks, Underpants and Adventure - with Marco Barcella
Description
Today we are chatting with Marco Barcella, who is based in the beautiful town of Henley on Thames, UK.
In a previous life, 35-year-old Marco was an expedition leader and a mountaineer, helping hundreds of people achieve their own mountainous challenges in exotic and far away locations such as Peru.
Since then, with a wife and with three kids in tow and his own business to run, Marco realised that life seemed to have become a little less adventurous and bit too 'normal'. That is of course, until Marco decided to go and sit in the freezing cold river Thames every day during the month of January, in just his shorts. Not only that, for the month of February, Marco is carrying 50 kilos of rocks in his rucksack to and from work every day - no mean feat for someone with knee issues.
- How did Marco become a happier person to be around?
- What is the secret to a great nights sleep?
- What is his advice for adventure tourism during the Pandemic?
- What is Marco's link to little old Jersey?
- How on earth is he going to come up with new challenges each month?
Grab your earphones, put the kettle on and join us to find out.
