Meet Al
We always love to hear about travelers with a mission and Alastair Humphreys looked like one of those guys so I checked out the website.
Here's the description of his trip: "The Guinness Book of Records defines a journey around the world as one that covers 16,000 miles and 4 continents. Now I am doing the job properly: 50,000 miles, 5 continents, 50 countries. Alone and on a bicycle. No buses, no hitching, no support vehicles."
His expedition is entirely self-financed; every penny he raises in donations will go directly to Hope and Homes for Children.
Hope and Homes for Children is a charity dedicated to providing a family and a future for young victims of war and disaster. It has provided family homes for over 1,200 children in 10 countries around the world, including Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Eritrea, Romania, Belarus, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Ukraine, and Mozambique.

His reports are funny and it's for a good cause so check it out.
