Who am I?

My name is Jack (Perks).

Every since I was a kid staring at my globe I’ve been dreaming of travelling the world and over the last 10 years I’ve been lucky enough to go to some incredible places. But there’s still a hell of a lot out there left to explore!

This passion for travel has evolved into a love of cycling and more recently running and has given me a whole new idea of what it means to travel. I attempted my first bikepacking trip in 2023 and now I have aspirations of running marathons all around the world. The concept of travelling to different places and merging that in with running and cycling has now become an absolute dream/obsession of mine and I want this to become what my life is about.

But I can’t do this alone. I’ve come to learn through my bikepacking trip across the USA that you can’t do things alone, you need to be part of a community of likeminded people who want to help each other. I really hope this website can not only share my stories, but those of other people too, and create a community of people who inspire and help people of achieve their adventure goals; the madder the better!

I say all of this without ever having ran a marathon in my life. I’ve always been one to run before I can walk but if we don’t dream big, we’ll never achieve big things.
