In 2001, aged 24, Alastair Humphreys left England to cycle round the planet. After 4 years, 5 continents, 50 countries and 46,000 miles he returned.

He completed his feat alone on a bicycle, no buses, no hitching and no support vehicles.

Alastair’s route round-the-world was from England to Istanbul, Turkey and through the Middle East to Egypt, Cairo to Cape Town, Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean and then the long haul from Ushuaia, Patagonia all the way up to Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean in Alaska. Asia is the final hurdle: beginning in Magadan, Russia, through Siberia, Japan, China, Central Asia, Iran and finishing with a quick dash back home across Europe.

Alastair Humphreys is now available to share his experiences through a presentation crammed with adventure and relevant to everyone - male, female, young or old. The lessons he learnt about himself in the world’s wild places are accompanied by striking photography and eloquenced humour.

His presentations focus on honesty, passion, determination, humility, risk-taking, persistence, tolerance, motivation, organization, flexibility, goal-setting and performing under extreme pressures which are all equally relevant in any highly competitive career.  Alstair has spoken for many companies including: Mars, Capstone, Cap Gemini and Zurich

This inspiring message, light-hearted yet compelling, reminds people what “difficult” really means and that we are all able to achieve great things.
