#52 - Markus Stitz: A Year Bikepacking Around The World

Markus Stitz holds the world record for being the first person to cycle around the world on a single-speed bike. He is a bikepacker, author and filmmaker based in Scotland.

In this conversation, we talk about:

  • Why closing the door on comfort is the only way to create real change

  • Why the so-called safe career is disappearing faster than you think

  • Cycling through grief after losing his father mid-trip and choosing to continue

  • What growing up behind the Berlin Wall taught him about freedom

  • How to find adventure in everyday life once the big trip is behind you
