'If anyone gets the chance to hear Alastair then jump at the opportunity.' - England Rugby

Alastair Humphreys spent over four years cycling round the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and 5 continents. His books 'Moods of Future Joys' and 'Thunder & Sunshine' recount his epic journey described by Sir Ranulph Fiennes as 'The first great adventure of the new millennium.'

More recently Alastair has walked across southern India (following the holy Kaveri river), rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, run the Marathon des Sables (6 consecutive marathons through the Sahara desert), rowed to France with Major Phil Packer, completed a crossing of Iceland by foot and packraft, and participated in an expedition in the Arctic, close to the magnetic North Pole. He is currently training for a return journey to the South Pole.

An inspirational and entertaining speaker, Alastair Humphreys is passionate about encouraging others. Cycling around the world was a powerful learning experience and taught Alistair many key lessons about resilience, human potential, risk and rewards. He shares practical advice about breaking down seemingly distant dreams into achievable goals and conquering self-doubt and a fear of failure. With humour, superb photographs and a huge range of anecdotes to draw upon, Alastair challenges his audience to set more challenging goals. To do more.

Alastair was chosen as one of National Geographic's Adventurers of the Year in 2012. Alastair has published several books and he is a keen photographer, videograper, and popular blogger and motivational speaker.

Rave Reviews - 'Alastair spoke recently to a group of very senior Marketing VPs and CMOs at a Google event. He did a wonderful job of engaging and inspiring the audience with them hanging on his every word for 30 minutes. He was equally comfortable presenting to his amazing photographs or handling a range of questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for a corporate audience.' - Google
