EP-236 THE CYCLE OF KINDNESS: Nathaniel Allenby’s Epic Ride

What would it look like to explore Europe with nothing but a bike, a few friends, and complete trust in human kindness? In this week’s episode, we chat with Nathaniel Allenby, author of Cycle of Kindness, which chronicles the first leg of his six-year, 28,000-mile cycling journey across ten countries. The twist? Nathaniel did it almost entirely without money, relying on the generosity of strangers, dumpster diving, and the spirit of community to make it from Amsterdam to the edges of Europe. They discuss what it’s like to live fully outside of society’s norms, the lessons learned from minimalist travel, and how uncertainty can become a pathway to resilience and human connection. Nathaniel also reflects on how this journey — part physical challenge, part social experiment — reshaped his worldview and inspired a deeper belief in people’s inherent kindness. 👉 To learn more, visit: Cirque Quirk The Cycle of Kindness Allenby Art About Us 🌍 10Adventures 🌟 was founded with one goal in mind: to make active travel accessible, promoting mental and physical well-being. 🚶‍♀️🚴 Our mission is to eliminate the stress of holiday planning, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your journey.
