FILM : FEAR
What stops us from living adventurously?
Film by
ALASTAIR HUMPHREYS
What if the thing that stops us living as adventurously as we might dream of is not time or money or family or expertise or gender or training, but our own fears?
In ‘Fear’, Alastair Humphreys questions the barriers we perceive in our own quest to live a more adventurous life. Do we make assumptions about what boxes an ‘adventure’ needs to tick? What are we scared of? And is more required than simply having the courage to make a start?
What really scares me is the thought that one day, it will be too late…
Alastair is known as a pioneer of microadventures, and in ‘Fear’ he challenges us to put aside our doubts and “live a little bit more adventurously.” His belief is that adventure should be accessible to everyone; real adventures can be found closer to home, cheaply and easily, with a little imagination.
