Cream Tea with explorer Ash Bhardwaj – HYBRID EVENT

Join global explorer Ash Bhardwaj on an exciting journey through his travel experiences – including accompanying Levison Wood on several expeditions – and find out about the inspiration behind his new book Why We Travel. 

“Ash brings fun, excitement and intellect to the world of adventure journalism. His storytelling is a joy to behold.” Levison Wood, explorer 

Why We Travel explores human motivation and looks deeply at what we can gain from venturing out into the world. From epic global expeditions to microadventures closer to home, Bhardwaj recalls his travels from Uganda to Ukraine and calls on the insights of philosophers, athletes and scientists to help him explore what drives our longing for adventure.

Why We Travel is both a highly personal and universal book, recounting Ash Bhardwaj’s connection’s with his Indian heritage and his struggles with grief and identity. It asks how healing and hardship can be overcome in travel, and how serendipity and wonder can help awaken us to our surroundings and leave us more connected to the people and places around us.
