Summary
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 a tribe, 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 this book. Instead, Alastair tackles questions asked by listeners 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 do you deal with the dilemma of flying and travel?
- How has social media changed the way you tell stories?
- How do you become an adventurer?
- How much does an adventurer earn?
- How do you decide what you will or won’t do for money?
- 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 become a better speaker?
- How do you deal with emails?
- How do you start a podcast?
- How do you launch an email newsletter?
And more….

Wonderful treat for the ears, heart and head
This is a very useful and honest insight into the life of a successful individual. Obviously the focus is on considerations when contemplating life as a “working adventurer.” However, there are many great nuggets in here that provide a range of useful tips and advice for anyone at any stage of life l, all given with great humility. Feels like an honest chat in the pub with an old friend/mentor/sibling etc.

Like having a chat in the pub.
I have zero interest in becoming a professional adventurer but still found this book to be a wonderful listen. I've always wanted to know the realities and behind the scenes of how being a "pro" adventurer works and Al answers with aplomb. As an added bonus there is a lot of wonderful advice for anyone's life and career. Heartily recommended.
