Episode 070: Robert Martineau, Waypoints

Robert Martineau has many strings to his bow, most recently adding ‘author’ to his list of achievements. His book ‘Waypoints - A Journey on Foot’ is about his 1,000 mile walk across West Africa. Robert is also the co-founder of Tribe, a natural nutrition company, running community and charity which fights human trafficking. In this episode Matt and Robert talk about his trip but quickly delve into the reasons we’re drawn to wander. From religious pilgrimages to just putting one foot in front of the other - we’re talking flow states, spirituality and the beauty of exploring on foot.Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast</a>.
