Eligibility

What I Look For

🚴

A completed long adventure

You must have already completed your adventure β€” cycling, hiking, sailing, paddling, motorcycle, or similar. I'm looking for journeys of at least 2 months.

🌍

A genuine human story

I want the real story β€” the doubts before leaving, the hardest moments, the unexpected surprises. Not just highlights. I value honesty over perfection.

πŸ’¬

Willingness to share openly

Our best interviews come from people who are willing to be vulnerable and honest. You don't need to be famous or have a large following β€” just a real story.
