This chat with Beau Miles, a Patagonia and Outward Bound ambassador, author and YouTube star, is perfectly calibrated to keep the holiday spirit alive just a little longer.</p><p><br></p><p>Beau used to be a mad explorer – he’s indeed conquered Everest base camp, became the first person to run 650kms across the Australian Alps, kayaked Bass Strait and the rest. But a few years back he made the switch to exploring the world closer to home and now inspires a league of fans who froth over his mad-as videos of running the length of the old Warragul-Noojee Railway line to learn its history (dressed in a train driver uniform, carrying a shovel and three jars of dried pasta, just to chuck a hardship bomb into the equation), eating his body weight in beans (to see what happens), and spending a night in the tree outside his front door. This is more of a fun two-way chat where the two of us compare notes on flipping your day-to-day life into a flirtation, getting out of life ruts, playing and loving being weird.</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Grab Beau’s book <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com.au/Backyard-Adventurer-Meaningful-expeditions-self-experiments/dp/1922267309?crid=AJVT60JYQZD&amp;keywords=the-backyard-adventurer&amp;qid=1658876799&amp;sprefix=the-backyard-adventurer,aps,219&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=sarahwilsonau-22&amp;linkId=7cd8bf81812cf187ce8ebc2c5e48f444&amp;language=en_AU&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Backyard Adventurer: Meaningful and pointless expeditions, self-experiments and the value of other people's junk&nbsp;</a></li><li>Stay up to date with all his adventures <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/beauisms/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">via Instagram&nbsp;</a></li><li>You can watch Beau’s films <a href=\"https://beaumiles.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my \"<a href=\"http://www.sarahwilson.com/about\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">about</a>\" page</p><p>For more such conversations subscribe to my<a href=\"https://sarahwilson.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Substack newsletter</a>, it’s where I interact the most!</p><p>Get your copy of my book,<a href=\"https://amzn.to/3vs3tf2\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> This One Wild and Precious Life</a></p><p>Let’s connect on<a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/_sarahwilson_\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram</a></p>","author_name":"Sarah Wilson"}
