Over dit e-boek

After years of adventuring around the globe – running, kayaking, hitchhiking, exploring – Beau Miles came back to his block in country Victoria. Staying put for the first time in years, Beau developed a new kind of lifestyle as the Backyard Adventurer. Whether it was walking 90km to work with no provisions, building a canoe paddle out of scavenged scrap or running a disused railway line through properties, blackberry thickets and past inquiring police officers, Beau has been finding ways to satisfy his adventurous spirit close to home. 

This book is about conscious experimentation with adventure, making meaning and inspiration out of tins of beans, bits of rubbish and elbow grease. Beau’s Backyard exploits are funny, authentic, insightful and being copied all over the world by everyday people. 

YouTuber, new dad, and self-described oddball who needs to shower more, Beau is what happens when you cross Bear Grylls with Bush Tucker Man. With a PhD in Outdoor Education, a string of successful short films under his belt and a boundless passion for discovery, Beau is the real deal.

Over de auteur

You may have heard of Beau before for the challenges he’s set himself like walking 90km to work. He makes videos of his adventures doing things the rest of us wouldn’t, like when he attempted to paddle around from one side of Africa to the other; when he ran over 650km of the Australian Alpine Walking Track; and going around collecting scrap wood to make his own junk paddle (good to know in case you get stuck up a creek). Beau’s book on finding adventure in the everyday will be out in late 2020.
