Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, blogger, author and motivational speaker.

His expeditions include cycling round the world, walking across India and rowing the Atlantic. He has also been named a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year for his pioneering work on the concept of microadventures – adventures that are close to home, cheap, simple, short, yet very effective.

Alastair's six books for Eye include the highly acclaimed The Boy Who Biked the World trilogy – a series of novels for 9–12-year-olds based on his own real-life adventures – plus Moods of Future Joys, Thunder and Sunshine and Ten Lessons from the Road.

He produces a monthly newsletter with the highlights of the blog and important expedition news.
