This is a new series where I interview people with inspiring stories of adventure. To start the series, I interview the most interesting person I know (who also happens to be my girlfriend).Katie Hatton (Instagram - youve_got_to_wander) has completed a number of adventure that many would consider being "once in a lifetime" journeys. We met in Dec 2018 in China when she was cycling from the UK to Malaysia. After that journey, she walked the length of the UK from Lands End to John O'groats and then walked the Te araroa which takes you from the top of New Zealand to the South. Before this, Katie had run the Marathon des Sables, which is a multi-day ultra-marathon through the Sahara desert,  a race often labelled the most difficult in the world.In this episode, Katie and I discuss her journey from school to completing these epic adventures. We discuss returning from a journey and funding multiple journeys. If you enjoy this episode, would you please leave a review on Apple Podcasts  iTunes? It only takes 60 seconds and makes a huge difference.  You can follow my adventures on youtube: youtube.com/adamhugill

Link to my Alaska/Dalton Highway trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MPBZ0t9LqNYA whole year on the road! In some ways it feels like this year has flown by. In other ways it feels like the longest, most full year of my life.In this podcast (and my diary) I want to be fully honest. I'm recording these episodes mainly for myself in future years to come but if it helps other peoplke understand what it is like to live life on a bike, that is also an added benefit.You can support the podcast, the filming and bike tour by becoming a Patreon and get a bunch of rewards: PatreonYou can also watch the accompanying videos on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/adamhugill
