G!RO Talks to Jimmy Ashby | Round The World Adventurer by Bike - a podcast by Jordan Addison

At the age of 18, most young people may be starting a job, university, or taking a Gap Year with friends.  Not this young man. Aged 18. Jimmy Ashby left his home on Adelaide Australia on his Curve GXR with a simple goal. Ride Around the World. In April 2019, aged 20, he returned to his home in Adelaide after 13 months on the road, successful in his quest. He covered a total distance of 39 100km, crossing 32 countries, and raised over $30000 for charity. Alone.  
We had crossed paths with Jimmy on his travels when he stopped through the UK during is voyage, and have supported him throughout. Since returning he has been sharing his stories through public speaking engagements and schools. Plus he picked up the highly coveted award of Young Adventurer of the Year by Australian Geographic. We have been looking forward to being able to catch up with him and this week Jordan managed to sit down (via the magic of Skype) with this remarkable young man to hear more of his tales from the road. Jimmy really is a remarkable person, and we have loved watching his journey. This is one we really have been looking forward to, and we hope you guys enjoy it! 
So sit back, grab a brew and enjoy!
