Description

Heinz Stücke returns for Part 2 where he shares the honest truths and life lessons learned from 51 years of cycling the world.

Check out Part 1 of our discussion here.

Listen if:
You’re curious about the real cost of a life of adventure, how long-term travel shapes a person, and what 51 years on a bicycle teaches you about the world.

Key takeaways:

  • The cost of long-term travel and what Heinz had to sacrifice to keep travelling
  • How travelling alone opened more doors for connection and kindness
  • How Heinz worked kept funding his travels and his bases for working out where to go next
  • The “a bike is a bike, is a damn bike” philosophy and why Heinz never romanticised his bicycle and stayed proudly Mr Analog
  • What decades of travel with paper maps and film cameras taught him that today’s digital world of internet, smartphones and GPS can't replicate
  • How Heinz is still permanently travelling now
