Quotes by Alastair Humphreys  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Life is too brief and too rich to tiptoe through half-heartedly, rather than galloping at it with whooping excitement and ambition.”
Alastair Humphreys, There Are Other Rivers: On Foot Across India
tags: life

“Sometimes all you need is to climb a simple hill, to spend time staring at an empty horizon, to jump into a cold river or sleep under the stars, or perhaps share a whisky at a small country inn in order to remind yourself what matters most to you in life.”
Alastair Humphreys, Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes

“See the opportunities for adventures, not the constraints that get in the way.”
Alastair Humphreys, Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes

Andy Just finished 'Moods of Future Joys' - incredible!

Really looking forward to 'Thunder and Sunshine'. I enjoy my week-long bicycling tour every summer with friends (like www.ridetherockies.com) - that ~500 mile bicycle tour is barely a taste of the fantastic adventures in your book.

Just one question - how do you get across the oceans? Pedal very quickly, I assume? :)
