‘Interesting, lucid, down-to-earth and practical’ Buzz Magazine
Adventurers cross deserts and row oceans, appearing to live the dream. Yet they also must pay the bills and carve out time to get away.
Are you trying to make a career doing what you love, daring to go freelance in a creative industry, growing an audience or curious about an unconventional career? What is it like to build a life from living adventurously?
Whether you are adventurous, creative or just curious, Ask an Adventurer answers your questions from behind the scenes, rather than the usual questions adventurers hear: there are no kit lists, practical expedition planning advice or daring deeds in these pages. Instead, Alastair tackles questions asked by readers on social media such as:
How do you make a living?
How do you make time for adventure?
How do you stay motivated and focused?
How do you deal with post-adventure blues?
How has social media changed story-telling?
How do you find sponsors?
How do you get your work done?
How can we make the world of adventure better?
How do you get a book published?
How do you get paid to give talks?
How do you start a podcast?
How do you launch an email newsletter?
