Valentin Lazar: Cycling Africa and The Middle East Over 20,000 Kilometers

Saison 1

vendredi 5 juillet 2024 • Durée 02:13:38

This podcast episode that will take you on a journey across continents, through adversity, and into the heart of human experience. Today we're diving into an epic adventure that defies imagination.

Picture this: A lone cyclist, pedaling across the globe, starting in the quaint villages of Central Europe and venturing into the rugged Balkans. But that's just the beginning. Our intrepid traveler pushes eastward, through the ancient lands of Georgia and Armenia, into the mystical realms of Iran, and across the opulent Gulf countries.

But hold onto your handlebars, because the real heart-pounding adventure kicks off in Kenya. Imagine cycling mere meters from the Equator, your body dripping with sweat, as you navigate through a land of stark contrasts - from gut-wrenching poverty to breathtaking beauty, from perilous game reserves teeming with lions to encounters with some of the kindest souls on Earth.

From the wildlands of Africa to the roof of the world - Valentin aims to pedal on the legendary Pamir and Karakoram Highways, before seeking solace in the vibrant chaos of India. And that's just the halfway point! Southeast Asia, Australia, and the diverse tapestry of Latin America all lie ahead on this incredible odyssey.

You might think this journey is an insurmountable challenge, a feat reserved for superhumans. But here's the twist - our cyclist found it less daunting than expected. What secrets of human resilience and global kinship has this journey unveiled?

Tune in now to hear firsthand accounts of close encounters with wildlife, heartwarming tales of human connection, and insights that will challenge your perception of our world. This is a masterclass in human endurance, cultural understanding, and the art of embracing the unknown.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the world through the eyes of a global cyclist. Click play now and let the adventure begin. Your perspective on travel, humanity, and your own potential will never be the same.

Nomadic Sportsman- Juan Pablo Toro- 33 Countries, 18,500 Kilometers on a Bicycle

Saison 1 · Épisode 22

mercredi 15 mars 2023 • Durée 02:24:19

Juan Pablo Toro is a tennis player and adventurer who was born in Santiago de Chile. He had a normal life. Almost too normal. To defeat boredom, in December 2019 he started traveling around the world, but 4 months later the pandemic started and he had to come back to Chile, disappointed. His expectations were high for the trip, but his adventure was cut short.

In August 2021 he started traveling again, this time with a bicycle and a tent, and low expectations in order to avoid more disappointment. He ended up cycling 18,500 kilometers through 33 countries in Middle East, Africa and Europe, completing 5 different multiday hikes, and even visiting the Arctic Polar Circle.

After suffering through surgery in Armenia, he was nearly killed in a head on collision with a car in Iran two times in a sick prank, only to spend the night in the driver's home in a perverse twist of fate. After cycling through Asia and the Middle East, he continued cycling in Kenya with the goal of meeting one of his heroes, marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge, and pedaled to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

Walking the World For 30 Years- Karl Bushby and Angela Maxwell

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

samedi 31 décembre 2022 • Durée 02:20:38

The Goliath Expedition is Karl Bushby's attempt to walk around the world "with unbroken footsteps", from Punta Arenas, Chile, to his home in Hull, England. He began his journey on November 1, 1998 and originally expected to finish the over-36,000+ miles (58,000+ km) trek in 12 years, though there were questions about the three gaps that created uncertainty. The first gap would be the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama, the Bering Strait between the US and Russia, and the Channel tunnel between France and the UK. The journey was defined by two rules:

Karl will advance unassisted by any form of transport.
Karl will only return home on foot.

In 2001 Karl crossed the treacherous Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama, taking two months to travel from the city of Medellin to Panama city, crossing the frontline of fighting between the Colombian government and FARC. Traversing 200 miles of dense jungle and spending many days floating down jungle rivers, Karl avoided FARC (revolutionary armed forces of Colombia), yet would spend 18 days in jail in Panama detained by Panamanian police after crossing the closed border zone due to the conflict. Karl was released to continue once his intent was clarified.

In March 2006, Bushby crossed the Bering Strait on foot, having to take a 14-day route across a frozen 150-mile (240 km) section to cross the 58-mile (93 km) wide strait from Alaska to Siberia. He was detained by Russian border troop officers for not entering Russia at a correct port-of-entry.

Over 6.5 years, across 4 continents, over 20,000 miles, 14 countries, and a handful of islands, Angela Maxwell discovered her innate courage, strength, and conviction. She traversed desolate deserts, snow-capped mountains, and bustling ancient cities....alone. Twelve pairs of shoes and too many cups of noodles consumed to count, she walked nearly the circumference of the earth.

A novice adventurer when she began, Angela faced the incredible odds of surviving the outback in Western Australia, dengue fever in Vietnam, a physical attack in Mongolia, and the sheer challenges of being a solo woman sleeping in a tent wherever she could lay her head for the night.

Adam Swanson Cycles the World at Age 19

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

dimanche 18 décembre 2022 • Durée 01:40:16

Adam Swanson is 19 years old and is 1.5 years into a world cycling tour as a gap year between high school and college. He is traveling to educate himself on the world before going to university, to grow as a person, and to grow his love for cycle touring.

He's toured with his family all his life, ever since his dad and pregnant mom pulled him in a Burley trailer across Mexico as a baby. Since then he's toured the US from coast to coast, Cuba, Eastern Europe and gone on some weekend trips with family and friends. Now he is doing it on his own, free and happy to continue this lifestyle.

He's been on the road now for over a year and has cycled across 19 countries between Thailand and The Netherlands. Now he is continuing his trip Patagonia.

Enjoy the conversation. Be bold. Be intrepid.

Argentina to Alaska by Bicycle- "North to Alaska" Author Trevor Lund

Saison 1 · Épisode 18

mardi 29 novembre 2022 • Durée 02:16:14

In 1999, Trevor Lund set out to fulfil a 10-year dream of cycling the length of the Americas, from southern Argentina to north Alaska. With little planning and no mobile phone and soon finding himself all alone after his companion quit, his journey was far from ordinary. He enjoyed and endured so much that he felt compelled to write a book on his return home but self-doubt meant the book would take 19 years to complete.

Trevor still cycles and has completed many enjoyable - and not so enjoyable - cycle journeys since. He is also attempting to write a second book!

You can find his book North to Alaska: The True Story of an Epic 16,000-mile Cycle Journey the Length of the Americas at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/North-Alaska-000-mile-journey-Americas-ebook/dp/B0833GX9Z9/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1669725751&sr=8-1

Cape Town to Cairo by Bicycle- "Unhinged in Ethiopia" Star Tetsuya Mizoguchi

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

jeudi 17 novembre 2022 • Durée 01:43:26

I am happy to introduce you to Tetsuya Mizoguchi, a veteran adventurer and character in my book Unhinged in Ethiopia: Two Thousand Kilometers of Hell and Heaven on a Bicycle via a podcast conversation.

Tetsuya Mizoguchi has been bicycle touring since high school and has pedaled solo across South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. We met in Ethiopia while he was on his journey from Cape Town to Cairo and rode together for several days.

About 15 years my junior, he displayed unrivaled poise and confidence when dealing with stone-hurling children and showed me how to deal with tough times on the road. They say when the student is ready the teacher will appear and I met him at exactly the right time as he gave me invaluable tips on surviving in Ethiopia on a bicycle.

He was mugged in South Africa but still managed to snap a picture of his assailants running away, patched 60 tire punctures in Zimbabwe, got kicked out of a home after refusing to use drugs with his hosts in Egypt, and was mistaken for a dead body while sleeping under a bridge in the winter in his home country of Japan.

Enjoy the conversation. Be bold. Be intrepid.

The Ocean Cyclist: World Circumnavigation by Pedal-Powered Boat- M. Scott Ault

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

lundi 7 novembre 2022 • Durée 01:43:12

M. Scott Ault is a Calgary based artist, author and sporadic adventurer. He grew up in east- central Ontario and knew there was more "out there" than just what had been taught in books and through movies.. adventure and that it was sitting there.. waiting for him. All he had to do was reach out and grab it. Thus, one day he decided to give away nearly all his personal property and, armed with just a backpack and a cardboard sign, he was en route to... nothing short of Life, Immeasurable. In the years since he has meandered by various alternative methods including cycle touring around N. America and worked on his chosen art forms that include 3D soapstone sculpting, photography, and literature. He has, also, had to take on various forms of employment and has always been in "survival" mode.

If one thing was a "take away" from him.. it would be to slow down and smell the roses. Instead of rushing head long in to a life that is more work than enjoyment he has always sought peace and tranquility. It is his hope that spending 24 months on the oceans of this planet will teach him more about this and reinforce his connection to her and he'd like to share that sense with as many people worldwide as possible.

"Artist Statement" - M. Scott Ault

i decided, quite without reservation,
to do something wholly different with my life

sometimes the road has been troubled
by disquiet reason
sometimes my path has been waylaid
by visions of envy
and still others with needs aplenty
all washing my vessel off it’s mark
away from it’s compassed, divine.

in this statement mundane
i present a reflection of devotion
a sense unrelenting for sensuality
an emphatic plea for sensitivity
and a predefined need for resolute aspect
unfettered by contemporaneous theories
unrestrained by volumetric tendencies
an essence prevalently unrepresented.

these silver slivers staring you back
somewhat askew..
all inclined towards abstraction
shine on to each new facean old tremor of the soula precursory reflectionof the disguised dreamuniversal yet universally individualcausing the slowed heartto beat once againbringing a new lightto an old day.
