Travel Adventure from London to South Africa: Paul Edkins

Season 3 Episode 146

Guest Paul Edkins takes us on an adventure from London to South Africa. He had zero experience of bike travel before setting off on this adventure. Along the way he was also fundraising for the Black Mambas the world's first female anti-poaching unit.

Listen if:
You're looking for inspiration to set off on your own huge adventure.

Key takeaways:

Trust yourself. You’ll make mistakes sure, but that’s where the real lessons live.
Stay flexible. Plan a few days at a time and let how you feel decide the route.
It's all about the people you meet. The bike travel community is awesome.
People want to help you. The world is kinder than the news makes it seem.
