What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the ingredients that make an epic adventure?
George Mahood's adventure took shape during a night at the pub when he and his buddy devised a plan to cycle the full length of Great Britain with nothing but their underwear- no clothes, no money, and no bike! If that’s not epic, I don’t know what is!
If you’re curious about what it takes to have once in a lifetime experience centered around the generosity of strangers, then you don’t want to miss this week’s episode.
Have you ever tried traveling outside the box to create a one-of-a-kind experience? I'd love to hear your story and hope you will share it by sending me an audio message.
