The CRAZIEST adventure story you'll ever hear...
Have you ever thought, “Sod it, I’ve had enough. I need to get away?” Well, if you have you’re not alone. But while most of us book a holiday in the sun somewhere, or at best, go on a bit of a mini-adventure, Jason Lewis took it to the next, next, next level. He decided one day to join his mate and travel around the entire planet in a 360-loop...using, um, only human power. That means while you and I might take a plane, train or an automobile, Lewis would, oh, you know: cycle, rollerblade, kayak. You name it: if it made you sweat and didn’t involve an engine, he was pretty much up for it. The funny thing is, he wasn’t even fit. He hadn’t spent months ‘doing cardio’ from an app he’d downloaded to his phone. He just packed a few clothes, and went for it. What an absolute badboy. He was also fairly average when it came to using those human-powered modes of transport, but that didn't stop him. And guess what? Although it took him more than a decade to complete, he never, ever, ever gave up. Instead, he continued on his path, along the way getting arrested. He was also injured. And left to go it alone by his travel-mate. Sometimes he thought he was going a bit potty as he drifted by himself across the Atlantic Ocean in...a pedal-boat! Yet he went to some of the most awe-inspiring countries on Earth and met all sorts of people from all walks of life. If having a sense of adventure is a personality trait that you hold dear to your heart, then imagine having been him. What a way to live part of your life. Honestly, it’s the craziest travel story I’ve ever heard. But wow, did he learn a few fascinating life lessons along the way, many of which he goes into more depth on in his outstanding books documenting a journey described succinctly by The Guardian as, "An Epic."
