On this week’s episode Emma is joined by Duncan Covey, who recently returned from cycling around the world.

Duncan left London in April 2024, cycling across Europe, Asia, Australia and the US, riding over 36,000km. Alongside his ride he also raised over £19,000 for Big Moose Charity.

He talks about his highs and lows, from experiencing beautiful hospitality like being offered camel milk in the Kazakh Steppe and the sheer joy of being out on his bike cycling through countless countries and places, to battling several bouts of pneumonia and coming face to face with a shotgun in Albania.

On this episode expect to hear:

• His inspiration for riding around the world
• Most beautiful places to ride
• How he came face to face with a shotgun in Albania
• Coping with the post-adventure blues
• Which adventure is next on his radar

Duncan is full of inspiration and advice for anyone thinking of taking on a challenge like that and hugely passionate about what it means to take on an adventure.
