Alastair Humphreys is a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year.
He has cycled around the world, rowed the Atlantic Ocean and walked
a lap of the M25 – one of his pioneering microadventures.
He is the author of 14 books, including Great Adventurers, which
won the Stanford’s Children’s Travel Book of the Year and the Teach
Primary Award for Non-Fiction.
He has written eight books for Eye including the bestselling The
Boy Who Biked the World trilogy, a series of novels for
9–12-year-olds based on the real-life adventures he recounted in
Moods of Future Joys, Thunder and Sunshine and Ten Lessons from the
Road. His more recent The Girl Who Rowed the Ocean is a similarly
novelised version of his transatlantic crossing. It was shortlisted
for the Stanford’s Children’s Travel Book of the Year.
He is a qualified teacher.
