Nicolai Bangsgaard: Cycling Around the World and the Global Triathlon Challenge
Listen now
Description
Guest Nicolai Bangsgaard is a Danish Anthropologist who has spent almost two decades discovering the world by human powered travel. In ​2006, ​he ​set ​out ​on ​a ​long ​distance ​bicycle ​tour ​that ​would ​span ​four ​years, ​taking ​him ​across ​six ​continents, ​pedalling ​his ​way ​through ​53 ​countries ​with ​a ​total ​distance ​of ​62,000km. But that by no means was the end of his adventures and since then he has kept exploring the world through slow travel.  I spoke with Nicolai when he had just arrived in Perth to undertaken leg 2 of his latest challenge which he calls the Global Triathlon.  Leg 1 involved a 20,000km cycle from Denmark to Singapore. Leg 2 will see Nicolai traverse Australia and New Zealand on a Kick Scooter.  For leg 3 he will be running across the US before returning back to two wheels in Portugal and cycling back to his home in Denmark.  I really enjoyed hearing Nicolai share his vast experiences and insights from the adventures he has undertaken so far.  I was able to understand his motivations to keep exploring the world in this manner and to also learn more about his current challenge too.
