Cycling Adventure From Rossi to Aussie: Fergal Guihen (Pt 1)

Description

From not knowing how to fix a puncture to leaving Ireland to cycle to Australia via  Iran, Afghanistan, China and beyond, Fergal Guihen shows how saying yes to fear can change everything.

Listen if: You’ve ever thought, “I’d love to take off on an adventure… but I wouldn’t even know where to start.”

Key takeaways:

  • Fear is the compass: When faced with two routes, Fergal picked the scarier one  and discovered for him this would lead to the richest experiences.
  • Hospitality beats headlines: The countries that made him most nervous (Iran, Afghanistan, China) turned out to be the most generous.
  • Commit out loud: Telling others he was going made backing out impossible. Accountability is the fuel for your adventure.

Golden quote: “I’d rather try and fail than not try at all.”
