Alastair Humphreys, known for his concept of microadventures, realized during a Greenland trip that his extreme adventures were taking a toll on family time. To strike a balance, he coined "microadventures" – short, local trips offering adventure without extensive planning or time away. Through his books and talks, he's encouraged others to find adventure nearby, proving it's accessible to everyone.
