Alastair is an adventurer, blogger, author and motivational speaker and has spent his adult life going on incredible journeys. He has cycled around the world, walked the Empty Quarter in Oman, sailed across the Atlantic and much, much more. In this episode we have tried mix it up and not ask all the same questions that are often posed, so even if you are already a follower of Al's you should learn something new. It is packed with insights about expedition and you'll learn: - Al's best tips for fundraising and how fundraising makes you value your expedition. - How languages are a super power for adventures - Why thinking of his projects thematically helps him achieve. - What food he craves on expedition and how you can make expedition food more enticing!
