How to become an adventurer

12/19/2013

Back in October I had the privilege of speaking at TEDxBelfast - a wonderful event with the theme of 'ideas worth spreading.' TEDx events are a bringing together of great minds and innovation, so I felt somewhat fraudulent to be sharing my stories of half-baked adventures...

Below is my talk on the topic of 'How to become an adventurer.' Be sure to also check out some of the other speakers from the event - there are some wonderful talks.

Wow what a great talk! Look how far you've traveled both physicaly and mentaly since we met! You may or may not remember me but you stayed with us a night in Sioux Falls South Dakota.
Glad to see you on Ted talks!

This is superb Leon. I'm already looking at my next adventure only 3 months into the current one.

Absolutely brilliant to be watching and reading about like minded people who get up and go.

Thanks, pS when my connection improves here in Africa my first thing to do is watch my download of Into The Empty Quarter lol have had it for a Month not but unable to watch :)

Hi Leon!
What a great talk! I have done some biking trips by myself (not as long as yours) and I have always heard from so many people, that they could never do sth like that (specially women). But you explained it perfectly, everyone can do it, you just have to continue and choose the more rewarding roads.
I´m looking forward to read more about the packrafting trip you are doing with Tom now. Cheers! :)
