Hi Alastair, I'm a big fan and loved your books. Just a quick question, do you ever feel your enthusiasm waning for big trips? Do you get the same feeling before an adventure now than the one you had before your round the world cycle?

Thanks for this, it's nice to have someone stand up and encourage you to take a risk, rather than spend your whole life playing it safe.

Hi Alastair, another question here: I'm about to enter my final year of University and am considering a long distance bike ride when I finish in order to catch England Cricket play a Test Series in Sri Lanka. As I'm sure you can imagine, I've received plenty of advice advising me to go straight into a job/save up to put a deposit on a house etc. I also have a girlfriend that wouldn't be too happy if I went on this trip.

What is it that made you want to go against all this conventional wisdom and embark on your first adventure?

What a great perspective. I'll probably try and create a blog about this trip so I'll send you the link so you can check it out. It must be nice seeing the multitude of adventurers that you've inspired!
