‘Full-Time Adventurer’ is a riveting tale of leaving everything behind in pursuit of ultimate freedom. At 28, Tamar Valkenier, an investigative psychologist with the Dutch National Police, stands at a crossroads. Despite a successful career, she deeply yearns for more. She makes the daring decision to leave everything behind and embrace a nomadic existence. Tamar embarks on a transformative cycling journey from her hometown in the Netherlands to Istanbul, where she pushes her physical and emotional limits. Along the way, she gains confidence and discovers a fulfillment that exceeds her wildest dreams. From a journey of 1,600 kilometers on horseback in Mongolia to hiking the Jordan Trail with her trusted donkey, and traversing New Zealand’s Southern Alps with fellow nomad Miriam Lancewood relying solely on hunting and fishing for survival – Tamar’s myriad adventures serve as evidence to the power of personal growth, and the rewards it brings. More than a mere chronicle of Tamar’s experiences, ‘Full-Time Adventurer’ is a powerful testament to her transformation from a conventional life to an extraordinary one. It’s a captivating narrative of personal growth and courage that continues to inspire many others.

Live adventurously, be creative, make a living 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 an audience 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 these pages. Instead, Alastair tackles questions asked by readers 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...

Second Edition released August 2021 Through a collection of first hand experiences by the author, The Part-Time Adventurer is an entertaining and informative ensemble of wilderness stories. Whether dodging alligators in the swamp, rappelling through slot canyons in Utah, or hiking through Appalachia, the reader is immersed in adventure. Iconic hikes including "The Subway", "Syncline Loop", "The Narrows", and "Hanging Lake" are just a few of the many treks described. Detailed accounts of many National Park hikes, including those in Zion and Canyonlands National Park, provide planning tips and ideas for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path adventure than that of an ordinary traveler. The need to adjust for an unplanned event dominates many adventures in the book, and many lessons learned are shared through detailed accounts of both failure and success. Many of the basic skills needed to complete overnight wilderness trips are also shared, such as packing, planning, and safety tips. Excerpt #1 We enjoyed a hot, fresh, and delicious dinner in the middle of nowhere that night. It is not often that I am as content as I was then; sitting in the middle of a swamp with a group of friends, miles away from civilization, frying fresh frog legs and fish filets, learning new wilderness skills, and having added to my knowledge of kayak camping in the swamp. Thankfully, my pessimistic opinion about catching food for dinner was proven wrong. That evening my mind wondered about what the right way is to plan for, execute, and safely enjoy a wilderness trip: if I plan on catching or hunting for my meal on the next trip rather than packing food, but end up getting skunked, the results of that failure would be uncomfortable, yet I'd probably still survive. If the end goal is to survive while fully experiencing the wilderness, with the now proven prospect of enjoying an amazing meal sourced in the wild, then why not take the chance? I thought again of why I go on these trips: To experience nature and solitude, and to be presented with the challenges of being away from the everyday things that make us comfortable, the things that people take for granted and think are guaranteed. By not packing food and challenging myself to source food from the land, wouldn't this achieve my desire? Ultimately, I still pack enough food to get through a trip comfortably, but will at least prepare for and try to source fresh food from the land. Excerpt #2 I suddenly heard Josh let out a yell in front of me. When I looked up, he was holding his foot off the ground, and he displayed a look of pain and discomfort in his face. I asked if he hit a rock with his leg or foot, hoping he had just a minor injury. But he quickly said "no" and indicated it was his ankle, putting my mind into gear about how we'd get him out of the canyon if his ankle was broken. I told him to sit down, but he refused and said he was fine; it was obvious he was in pain. We all knew our location was the worst possible place on the hike to become immobilized; we could not go back the way we came, and we still had another rappelling and swimming section ahead of us. If he could not walk it off and keep moving under his own power, it may result in us waiting until the next day for help. This was the exact situation I was afraid of and had tried to prepare for. The next few minutes were tense. Chris and I didn't say much, but we were already going through options and plans in our head. Should one of us go ahead alone? Should we wait and hope for another group to pass by? Should we activate the distress beacon to get help?

NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Destined to become an adventure classic." —Anchorage Daily News Hailed as "gripping" (New York Times) and "beautiful" (Washington Post), The Adventurer's Son is Roman Dial’s extraordinary and widely acclaimed account of his two-year quest to unravel the mystery of his son’s disappearance in the jungles of Costa Rica. In the predawn hours of July 10, 2014, the twenty-seven-year-old son of preeminent Alaskan scientist and National Geographic Explorer Roman Dial, walked alone into Corcovado National Park, an untracked rainforest along Costa Rica’s remote Pacific Coast that shelters miners, poachers, and drug smugglers. He carried a light backpack and machete. Before he left, Cody Roman Dial emailed his father: “I am not sure how long it will take me, but I’m planning on doing 4 days in the jungle and a day to walk out. I’ll be bounded by a trail to the west and the coast everywhere else, so it should be difficult to get lost forever.” They were the last words Dial received from his son. As soon as he realized Cody Roman’s return date had passed, Dial set off for Costa Rica. As he trekked through the dense jungle, interviewing locals and searching for clues—the authorities suspected murder—the desperate father was forced to confront the deepest questions about himself and his own role in the events. Roman had raised his son to be fearless, to be at home in earth’s wildest places, travelling together through rugged Alaska to remote Borneo and Bhutan. Was he responsible for his son’s fate? Or, as he hoped, was Cody Roman safe and using his wilderness skills on a solo adventure from which he would emerge at any moment? Part detective story set in the most beautiful yet dangerous reaches of the planet, The Adventurer’s Son emerges as a far deeper tale of discovery—a journey to understand the truth about those we love the most. The Adventurer’s Son includes fifty black-and-white photographs.

A facsimile edition of the tattered notebooks of the Unknown Adventurer, this love letter to the wild details everything you need to know about how to live and thrive in nature, from the principles of treehouse building to wilderness first aid. If you are reading this, it means my notebooks have been found. I am leaving them here at camp for safekeeping along with a few other belongings that I won’t be taking with me. The notebooks are a lifetime’s worth of knowledge, which I’m passing on the you. So reads an excerpt from the weatherworn letter discovered by nature enthusiast Teddy Keen on a recent trip to the Amazon, along with sketchbooks filled with details of extraordinary adventures and escapades, expedition advice, and survival methods, annotated with captivating colored-pencil drawings. It is thought that the sketchbooks were created for two young relatives of the author. Drawing on Teddy’s knowledge of the outdoors, the pages of the sketchbooks have been carefully transcribed for young readers, as they were originally intended. You’ll be transported by riveting adventure tales from around the globe, like being dragged off by a hyena in Botswana, surviving a Saharan dust storm, being woken by an intrepid emperor penguin in Antarctica, and coming face-to-face with a venomous bushmaster (one of the most dangerous snakes on the planet)—all told in lyrical prose and illustrations that wonder at the mysterious beauty of the wild. Having inspired the adventurous spirit in you, the Unknown Adventurer encourages you to set out on your own adventure with information on wild camping, rafting, exploration, and shelters and dens, plus tips on first aid and tying knots. Expert instructions on wilderness basics, like building a fire, what to do if you get lost, and how to build various types of shelters are accompanied by more specific skills culled from many years of experience, like baking campfire bread, creating a toothbrush from a twig, making a suture from soldier ants, and even how to pan for gold. Find your way back to your primal self with the immersive text and glorious color artwork of this one-of-a-kind adventure book. REMEMBER: be good, be adventurous…and look after your parents.
