Eligibility
What We Look For
A completed long adventure
You must have already completed your adventure — cycling, hiking, sailing, paddling, motorcycle, or similar. We are looking for journeys of at least 2 months.
A genuine human story
We want the real story — the doubts before leaving, the hardest moments, the unexpected surprises. Not just highlights. We value honesty over perfection.
Willingness to share openly
Our best interviews come from people who are willing to be vulnerable and honest. You don't need to be famous or have a large following — just a real story.
