My wife sometimes "accuses me" of being an adventurer (read: "taking unnecessary risks" by doing solo day trips walking or hiking in nearby nature) but when I read and hear about REAL adventurers' sojourns I have to chuckle. Colin and Julie Angus are adventurers and authors of Rowed Trip. They actually live in the Comox Valley (when they aren't off adventuring). Their most recent adventure was a trip by row boat and bicycle through Scotland (Colin's heritage) and through Europe (Julie's mother is German) and to Syria in the Middle East (where Julie's father is from).
Listen to an audio conversation with Colin and Julie Angus hosted by Sheryl MacKay on North by Northwest. (if this link is broken, go to CBC.ca and search under the podcasts since CBC Radio is now switching from audio archiving to podcast archiving.) They write riveting books and also make DVDs of their adventures. The CBC interview in this blog ALMOST makes up for missing hearing them in person (so far)-- we did hear Colin when he returned from his human-powered trip around the world and it was so inspiring-- I recommend any of these books for other "armchair adventurers" out there!
